Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
With wildlife photography, I’ve realised that I am the part of Nature and not the other way around
Photography is an art
It’s about finding extra-ordinary
In an ordinary place
I held my first camera to click pictures of my daughter and that was a pure eureka. My camera and I discovered each other on that day. I have explored various genres of photography ever since and in no time, wildlife photography indulged me completely with its charm, thrill and sense of accomplishment. I could learn boatload of information. And even before I knew, I was in love with Asiatic Lions. This added a whole new meaning to my existence as a wildlife photographer. I feel that these lions recognise me when I visit them, I can say it from their gaze! I basically feel at home when I am there, right in front of them. My portraiture of these Asiatic Lions has become my forte and I have witnessed them indulged in miraculous moments. Apart from Gir, I have also explored jungles of Africa and captured other animals as well.
My perspective towards natural surrounding is turned upside down. I constantly feel a breathing world around me even when there is no walking soul in sight. Today, my whole purpose of photography is to portray the wildlife around and spread awareness about it through my work. My respect for mother nature has grown immensely and I am glad to have explored this side of myself as I am able to teach my daughter about the same.
Down these years, as rewards, I have bagged few national and International awards including Nature's Best Photography Asia 2016. In this filed of art, horizon is just an illusion. It is a never ending process of learning and you are a student of lifetime.
