About Conservation & Environmental Filmmaking
Why I Make Films
Conservation filmmaking, for me, is about giving nature its voice. I don’t just shoot pretty scenes - I try to connect with the energy of the wild, whether it’s a tiger in Corbett or the mangroves of Navi Mumbai. My journey started accidentally, but I stuck with it because our ecosystems need more than just admiration - they need action.
What I Bring to the Table
- Collaborate with NGOs, citizen groups, and publications
- Create short documentary films and campaign videos
- Use my work for advocacy, taking these films to summits and forums
- Sometimes, the stories are tough - illegal construction, plastic pollution, wetlands vanishing. But these are the real issues.
My Style & Past Work
I love to show the intersection of natural beauty and human impact. "Chalo Chanakya" supported a local movement to save mangroves, showing both the magic of flamingos and the threat of urban expansion. "The Last Look” was a tribute to a tiger - a simple, honest film about loss and dignity in the wild.
What Moves Me
Wildlife conservation documentaries aren’t just about animals. They’re about choices. I keep coming back to one question: Aakhir kya chahte ho? (What do you truly desire?). That’s the conversation I hope my films start.

My Story
School days in Jamshedpur, flipping Sanctuary Asia mags, I got hooked on nature's stories. Back then, it was all about chasing the perfect shot. Then my guru, Shri Maitreya Rudrabhayananda ji, flipped my whole view. Now, photography’s my meditation. I try to catch the energy, the soul – not just faces. Folks call my portraits ‘therapeutic photography’. In the wild, staring down a wolf or waiting for a darter, patience becomes life’s lesson. Seeing Navi Mumbai’s wetlands vanish stings. My camera’s my voice for them.
My Work

Wildlife Soul Photography - I wait, I watch, I capture the real spirit—tigers, flamingos, whatever nature shows.
Spiritual Photography Workshops - ‘Sense the Light’ workshops teach you to feel and see, not just click. It’s about awareness.
Conservation Filmmaking - My film ‘Chalo Chanakya’ fights for Navi Mumbai’s mangroves. Filmmaking is my seva to nature.
