For me, the jungle is a story meant to be shared. I bring the secrets of our forests directly to you through my curated exhibitions and interactive talks.

Here I am with the respected actor Shri Shatrughan Sinha, as he admires a photograph of a peacock at my "Jewels of the Wild" exhibition in 2012. It was a great honour to have him visit and appreciate my work.

The renowned singer Shri Suresh Wadkar, a Padam Shri awardee, visited my exhibition at the India Habitat Centre. It is always a pleasure to share my passion for wildlife with celebrated artists from other fields.

Here, the respected journalist Ravish Kumar of NDTV is interviewing my friend and mentor, Aditya Arya, at the Aravali Utsav exhibition. I was proud to have my photographs be a part of this important show highlighting the biodiversity of the Aravali range.

My photograph titled "Unconditional Love," showing a peahen with her chicks, was one of the exhibits at the recent exhibition at Museo Camera, Gurugram. It is a deeply fulfilling experience to see one's work displayed for public viewing.

This image of two peacocks fighting for territory was another one of my works exhibited at Museo Camera. Such events are the brainchild of my friend and guide, Aditya Arya, who has created a wonderful space for photographic arts.

This is an invitation for a preview of my photographs celebrating the Peacock, our National Bird. The exhibition was inaugurated by the Honourable Minister of Haryana, which was a great privilege for me.

This is the cover of the brochure from my solo exhibition, "Tiger's Realm," held at the India International Centre ten years ago. The goal was to showcase the tiger's world through photographs taken over eight years across India's national parks.

About From the Field: Talks & Exhibitions

My exhibitions are not just about displaying prints; they are dialogues. When I host sessions at venues like the India Habitat Centre or educational institutions across NCR, I use my photographs of tigers, peacocks, and the Aravallis to open conversations about our natural heritage, aiming to debunk myths and reconnect us with the wild..

I am a retired civil servant who now spends my days tracking stories in the jungle. My work, from photography exhibits to keynote talks, is about bridging the gap between our wild forests and our daily culture. I am always happy to share these lessons with new audiences.

This is the moment that defines wildlife photography for me. The raw power of a cheetah in full flight, a heartbeat frozen in time. Capturing this award-winning image after years of practice was a turning point, and it’s this kind of adrenaline-fueled, story-driven moment that I help you prepare for on my expeditions in the Maasai Mara.8
Every time I lead a trip to the Serengeti, this is the dream shot we chase. Two magnificent male lions surveying their kingdom from a kopje, bathed in the golden light of dawn. It’s a real-life Lion King moment, and witnessing it unfold is pure magic that never gets old.
In the vast, silent expanse of the Arctic, I captured this polar bear against the dark rock, its form illuminated by a sliver of light. This image is more than a photograph; it’s a story of solitude and survival, showcasing the artistic possibilities that emerge when we work with dramatic light in extreme environments.
This is Craig, a true giant of Amboseli and a creature I feel a deep connection with. His tusks, so long they almost scrape the earth, tell a story of a long life lived against the odds. On my Kenyan safaris, we don't just see elephants; we learn to appreciate the presence of these timeless, majestic individuals.

This leopard, walking on the edge of Mumbai, represents the core of my work: documenting the complex reality of human-animal coexistence. Capturing this moment required months of tracking and planning a remote camera setup to photograph the cat against the city lights, telling a story of shared spaces in a single frame.4
A tigress and her four cubs pause for a drink at a forest waterhole. This image was captured at night using a carefully placed camera trap with multiple flashes, creating a studio-like portrait that reveals an intimate family moment rarely seen in the wild. It showcases the patience and technical precision needed for impactful wildlife photography.
My work is rooted in years of fieldwork, patiently observing and understanding the subjects I photograph. Here, I am in my element, deep within a forest habitat, searching for the perfect angle and light to tell an authentic story about the natural world.
I am honored to take my stories from the field to international stages like WildPhotos. In my talks, I share the real-life challenges and successes of conservation photography, aiming to educate and inspire audiences about the wildlife living right in our backyards.
