The Urban Jungle: Mumbai's Leopards

This collection is the culmination of years spent documenting the secret lives of leopards in one of the world's most densely populated cities. Through the patient use of camera traps, I reveal how these adaptable predators navigate the urban landscape, from the fringes of Sanjay Gandhi National Park to the alleyways of Aarey Colony.

The Tiger's Domain: Corridors of Central India

I travel to the forests of Central India to document the lives of Royal Bengal Tigers, focusing on their behavior and the critical importance of wildlife corridors. These images, many captured with remote camera traps, tell stories of territory, family, and the daily life of India's national animal.

Documenting Coexistence: Research & Community

My visual advocacy extends beyond animals to the people working to protect them and the communities living alongside them.

The Unseen Moment: From the Camera Trap

Sometimes, my camera traps capture moments of unexpected humor or intimacy that offer a different kind of story. This cluster is a collection of candid glimpses into the animal world, revealing behaviors and scenes that would be impossible to witness in person.
