Into The Wild And Wilderness

Into The Wild And Wilderness.

When and how did your journey in nature and wildlife photography begin?

I have been in love with nature ever since I was a kid. I belong to the Himalayas and as a kid I used to desperately wait for summer holidays. I loved trekking in the forests surrounding our village and was mesmerized by the million stars which were so clearly visible from the terrace of my village home. It was only when our family’s old Nikon point and shoot camera malfunctioned in the year 2011 that I seriously thought of purchasing a better D-SLR. I began reading about cameras on internet, one thing led to another and even before deciding on my camera I had decided that wildlife photographer is what I want to be. I become obsessed by reading anything and everything about photography, took an 8 week crash course in nature and wildlife photography, started exploring areas and eventually in the year 2014 started doing photography full time.

Who or what is it that inspires you and your work? Which photographer’s work influences you the most?
