JACKSON D SOUZA

Udupi (Karnataka)

About Photographer
I am an autodidact photographer with good patience and passion towards nature. The journey of photography started with a beginner's camera exploring the aesthetics of nature. Initiated with the love of nature then turned into passion for wildlife photography without my knowledge. Photography led me to learn and explore the habitats of species in nature and to explore the locations for specific species. I enjoy my passion and love being a part of nature.

Title: Chaos in water! Two tiger cubs have a blast in the water at Panna Tiger reserve as two siblings watch on from the sides. Fortunately, I had enough time to try out different camera settings to capture this action. While normal 'high shutter speed' shots froze the action well, I experimented with slower shutter speed to bring out the splash of water better. Panna, October 2023

The story of life dreams behind Mayapur Iskcon ! This simplistic presentation is a simile for me of two uniquely different subjects placed in relatively equal perspective. At the back there is a unique architectural marvel "The Iskcon Vedic Planatarium Temple" and in the front there is a Purple Heron. And it is the largest Hindu temple in Asia located in West Bengal. The name of West Bengal will be known all over Asia and the world for this temple.
