This is the first glimpse into my world, a collection of moments that define my work as a naturalist and photographer. Each frame is a story, capturing not just an image, but the behavior, the mood, and the very essence of the wild. These are the encounters that have stayed with me, from the silent tread of a tiger to the fleeting dance of a sunbird.
The Great Cats: Phantoms of the Forest
My work often follows the elusive trails of India's magnificent felines. I focus on capturing the spirit of the tiger and the leopard, not just as subjects, but as characters within their domain, from the dense jungles of Central India to the urban fringes.
On the Wing: The Marvel of Flight
There is no greater image of freedom than a bird in flight. I specialize in capturing the dynamic action of avian life, from the powerful downstroke of a pelican to the delicate hover of a sunbird, documenting the mechanics and artistry of their movement.
Avian Portraits & Stories
This collection is a closer look at the diverse birdlife I encounter, from the common kingfisher in my Mumbai backyard to the stately Sarus Crane in the fields. Each portrait aims to reveal the bird's personality and its place in the ecosystem.
The Secret World: Insects, Reptiles & Fungi
I find immense fascination in the smaller dramas of the wild, the world of cloak and dagger artists. This is a glimpse into the lives of insects, reptiles, and fungi, masters of deception and survival, from the camouflaged Stick Insect to the color-changing Girgit.
Mammals of the Indian Wilds
Beyond the great cats, India's forests are home to a rich panoply of mammals, each with its own story. This gallery features encounters with wild dogs, rare primates of the Western Ghats, and various species of deer and antelope.
A Fragile World: Conservation Chronicles
My lens cannot ignore the harsh realities our wildlife faces. These images document the conflict between nature and human carelessness, from the threat of feral dogs to the pervasive issue of plastic, serving as a plea to respect the one earth we have.
The Living Forest: Landscapes & Moods
The forest itself is a living character in my stories. I document its changing moods, from the starkness of the dry season to the lush vibrancy of the monsoon, and the interplay of light, water, and life that defines these wild spaces.
