An Expedition Into The Wild

Right from the time when I was in school, I had an inclination towards jungle and wildlife.

What stimulated your interest in wildlife and photography?

Eventually I started reading books about wildlife, travel and adventure. I first developed an interest in photography at the age of 16, when my mother gifted me a Kodak Hotshot film camera. I used to carry it in my bag and shoot pictures while exploring the area around my house. This hobby then became my passion when I got my first D-SLR. Initially I used the camera in Auto Mode but surprisingly my images were praised by my relatives and friends. This ignited the passion and I started to study photography extensively. As wildlife was very close to my heart since childhood, I started exploring this genre of photography furthermore. It was a steep learning curve and I believe that in the field of photography, learning never ends. Each new day offers me a chance to learn something new which drives my passion.

Locations and weather conditions seem to be a crucial aspect to a successful picture. How do you handle these unpredictable factors?
