About Photographer
I am a wildlife and nature photographer. I am from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. My native place is Rajasthan, the land of Maharajas. I have done my schooling from Don Bosco, Siliguri and my graduation from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkatta. To me photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. To me photography is a combination of light, gears, patience, practice, passion and love for nature. To me photography is way of life.
Ranthambore Tigerscape. One of the most iconic locations in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is the Rajbagh lake. From over the hill, the majestic Ranthambore Fort presides over this beautiful lake. We had this memorable sighting of Riddhi who was a new mother, heading towards her tiny new-born cubs whom she had carefully hidden in the hunting palace. This was a sighting of the queen of the lakes T124, Machli's great grand-daughter after almost a week. A week where she was reticent due to the birth of her progeny and had made us almost lose hope of seeing her. Ask the universe for something wholeheartedly, and it happens. This sighting was her gift to me!!

About Photographer
As a photographer, my main focus is capturing visually compelling and meaningful images that tell a story or convey a message. Whether I'm shooting landscapes, portraits, events, or anything in between, I use my knowledge of lighting, composition, and technical settings to create photographs that are both aesthetically pleasing and emotionally engaging.
My camera is my tool for self-expression, and I take great pride in using it to capture the beauty and diversity of the world around me. Through my lens, I seek to showcase the unique qualities of my subjects and the environments in which they exist, while also bringing my own creative vision to each image.
Whether I'm working on a personal project or collaborating with clients, my goal as a photographer is always to create images that are both technically excellent and emotionally resonant, leaving a lasting impression on those who view them.

About Photographer
I've started my photography journey in 2010 with a Powershot camera. Promoted with a Dslr, I photographed almost everything like street, portrait, landscape and finally I found myself satisfied in Wildlife photography. I clicked both birds and Mammals; their habitat, activities - everything that mesmerize myself. I've visited several hill regions, grasslands, wetlands, Desert and National Parks in search of beautiful wildlives. I collect memory and try to present them as a photograph to the World for delight.
