Why I Do This

I use my camera to show that living with wild animals isn’t just a forest thing - it happens right here in our cities too. Especially in Mumbai, where leopards and people cross paths all the time. My photos are about breaking that old idea that the wild is far away. For me, the wild is all around us, even in the most crowded places.

Where My Lens Goes

Much of my work happens in the “urban jungle” - I’ve spent years following leopards through the lanes by Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Documenting these big cats, like the well-known leopardess Luna, has given me a front-row seat to their lives alongside ours. I also chase moments like thousands of flamingos landing near Navi Mumbai’s high-rises. But I don’t just stick to cities. I spend a lot of time in Central India’s tiger country, trying to catch moments that show real tiger and leopard behavior, not just pretty faces.

How I Work

• I’m all about slow, long-term conservation storytelling through photos. I might stay somewhere for months, sometimes years, just to get the full story.
• I use camera trap wildlife images to see what animals do when nobody’s watching, and I work closely with forest officers and researchers to make sure my work actually helps.
• Drones help me show things from above - like the way flamingos fill up a city’s backwaters. It’s a different view and makes people see why we need to protect these spaces.

What you get with me is never just a pretty picture. It’s a full, honest story about how our lives and wild lives are linked - and why that matters.
