About Wildlife & Bird Photography
Why I Do This
Wildlife photography for me is more than just snapping pics. It’s about the rush, the long waits, and those wild surprises. I love the chase - sometimes it's a tiger in Tadoba, sometimes an osprey in flight. My camera helps me share that magic, not just nail a perfect shot.
Where I Roam
You’ll find me anywhere wild calls - thick jungles, high Himalayas, open savannas, or out on the blue. I’ve chased Bengal Tigers, photographed wild dogs, spotted Himalayan Monals, and gone pelagic birding trips off South Africa. Each place brings its own drama, and I’m all in for it.
My Style & Gear
Patience is my main trick. Gear-wise, I use a Nikon DSLR and a 200-500mm telephoto lens - helps me get crisp telephoto wildlife shots without bugging the animals. Sometimes I’ll stack dozens of photos for dramatic scenes. Action, drama, and detail - that’s my jam.
Conservation Matters
Honestly, all these wild moments remind me how fragile our planet is. I hope my photos show what’s at stake - birds, big cats, blue oceans, all part of an ecosystem we need to protect. Nature’s not just a backdrop, it’s the real story.

My Story
Hey, Sunny here. Mumbai is home, but you’ll mostly catch me somewhere off-grid with my partner and our two mad doggos, Jiraiya and Jeannie. Road trips, random hikes, chasing rare birds - that’s our jam. Jiraiya’s birthday cake was as epic as spotting a tiger, swear! My camera’s just part of our circus, catching those wild, 'pawsome' moments. If you love chill vibes and stories from the road, we’ll get along.
My Work
What I shoot - Wildlife bird photography, travel and landscape, star trail photography, monsoon lightning photography, pet birthday photoshoot.
Photos that feel - I don’t just click; I chase the feeling. Wonder, surprise, and those real, wild moments.
My style - Authentic, lively, and a bit quirky. I let the animals and places tell their own story.
Beyond animals - Love playing with night shots, lightning, and anything that’s a bit offbeat.
Travel stories - I capture journeys—coastal drives, food stops, random adventures. It’s about the whole trip, not just the views.
