In the Realm of the Tiger

I don't just photograph tigers; I document their survival strategies. Whether it's the legendary 'Collarwali' of Pench with her record-breaking 29 cubs or the fierce protection of the tigress Maya in Tadoba, my focus is on capturing the struggle and triumph of these big cats in their natural habitat. When you look at these images, you are seeing more than a portrait—you are witnessing the complex life of our national animal as it navigates a changing landscape.

My approach to documenting the Royal Bengal Tiger goes beyond the viewfinder. Having tracked these cats for two decades—from the dry forests of Ranthambore to the lush reserves of Tadoba—I have learned that the true story lies in behaviour, not just the pose.

In this collection, you will find moments like the rare 2009 courtship of Krishna and the Star Tiger, a sighting I was privileged to witness with only one other vehicle present. These experiences fuel my articles and corporate talks, where I draw parallels between jungle survival and human leadership.

Conservation is central to my work. Seeing a healthy tigress with cubs, like the family I documented on World Wildlife Day in Tadoba, isn't just a photo opportunity; it is a sign of ecological success. I write and speak about these topics because I want to bridge the gap between urban life and our wild heritage. If you are looking for authentic, research-backed wildlife narratives for a coffee table book, magazine, or a corporate offsite, these documented moments provide both visual impact and educational depth.
