I am an Indian wildlife photographer residing in Scotland. I am very passionate about animals, wild places, and the need to conserve them. Photography is my means to share the wonderful moments I get to spend with wild animals in their natural habitat with others. My mission is to tap into people’s emotions towards animals, inspire them to learn more about them and take action to conserve wildlife and its habitats. My favourite animals are the big cats, so it is no surprise that Africa is my favourite photographic and adventure playground.

“For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to “give a meaning” to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.”
