About Featured
Every frame you see here represents hours of patience, whether I am waiting for a tiger’s movement in the grasslands of Corbett or holding perfectly still for a macro insect shot at Sunder Nursery. If you want to capture shots like these, the secret is not just having the right gear. It is knowing exactly where to position yourself, understanding the light, and having the discipline to stay silent until the subject reveals itself.
Behind the Lens
My work is an attempt to show you the hidden beauty of the natural world. Butterflies cannot see their own wings, but through photography, we can. My portfolio spans the raw intensity of big cats in Ranthambore to the vibrant colours of a Navrang (Indian Pitta) in the forest.
Field Experience & Locations
I do not just shoot in one place. My office changes with the season. I spend my time in:
- The Big Forests: Tracking tigers and elephants in Corbett, Rajaji, and Pilibhit.
- Wetlands & Grasslands: Capturing raptors and water birds at Sultanpur and Bhondsi.
- Macro Hotspots: Exploring the tiny, intricate details of dragonflies and insects right here in Delhi NCR.
My Approach to Wildlife Photography
Photography is my way of connecting with the wild, and I believe it is a powerful tool for conservation. Whether I am using my Nikon D500 for a distant leopard or my OM-1 for macro work, my focus is always on the subject's behaviour. I do not just chase the 'perfect shot'. I chase the story.
How You Can Learn
I do not keep these techniques to myself. I lead wildlife photography tours that take you into the field, handling the permits and logistics so you can focus on the camera. I also run practical nature walks in Delhi NCR, where I teach you how to spot subjects, handle light, and correct your framing on the spot. If you want to move beyond basic settings and start capturing the soul of the forest, come join me on a walk or a safari.

I am the one usually covered in dust, waiting behind a lens for that split-second interaction between a tiger and its habitat. Whether I am guiding a photography tour in Sattal or leading a photo walk in Delhi, my focus remains the same: helping you see the wild magic that is right in front of us.
