BIOGRAPHY

Biography

..............................

In the heart of nature's raw wilderness, amid storms, silence, and night's embrace, I find my deepest connection to the world. My photography transcends capturing wildlife; it's about seizing the fleeting, profound moments nature reveals. Each shot is more than a visual—it's an emotional narrative, capturing the serene bond formed in solitude with the natural world. This journey is my pilgrimage, where each photograph reflects the untamed spirit of nature and the tranquility it instills in me.

Adventure As My Guide

..............................

Adventure shapes my life, guiding me to the unknown, like the diverse and vibrant landscapes of Kutch. Its unique habitats, from vast salt marshes to rich cultural traditions, teach me the essence of exploration isn't the destination but the journey itself. In Kutch, among its resilient communities, I've learned that true adventure lies in embracing the balance between nature and human life, urging me to live intentionally and immerse myself in every experience for deeper understanding and growth.

Magazine Documentary

Embarking on a collaborative venture, I joined forces with Saevus Wildlife India Magazine to illuminate the perilous journey of the Lesser Florican, a symbol of India’s vanishing grasslands. This project, aimed at shedding light on the bird’s migration, challenges, and the urgent need for conservation, combines our mutual dedication to wildlife preservation with compelling storytelling and photography. Through this partnership, we aspire to inspire action and awareness, highlighting the critical state of the Florican and the ecosystems it calls home, urging a collective effort towards their safeguarding.

Snapshots for Conservation

I’ve partnered with WWF India and Classmate for a unique initiative: my wildlife photos will feature on 10 million notebooks, blending education with conservation awareness. All royalties are donated to WWF India, supporting their environmental efforts. This collaboration highlights the synergy between art, education, and conservation, inspiring action towards preserving our natural heritage.
