About me

Picture
A childhood fascination for wildlife merged with travel which started with a professional career  ~  thats how the journey into this realm started "photography, wildlife, travel and life as is" . A passion and interest for wildlife led me to do a naturalist training program conducted by Jungle Lodges and Resorts, Karnataka.

As and when we get time, me and my wife who shares the same passion for travel plan our vacations to accommodate wildlife photography trips and time in the forests along with our little son "V", who we are hoping will grow up to love nature and the wildlife media collections and all the books which have been accumulated over the years and our memoirs in terms of photographs. 

Photography will continue to be a hobby, learning and a passion which I will endeavor to improvise with time.  I focus on nature/ wildlife, travel and people photography.  I think the biggest teacher in life is Travel and Time, so the focus will be to capture  moments and slices from the journey called life.  My best advise to all would be to seek, understand and emphasize on light for the best results in your form of art.
