About us
Photography - My Passion
I am a photographer who loves to freeze time and study it at leisure.
And what holds me there is creativity; it’ s an ongoing process, and it never stops
I love to observe & capture emotions that tell multiple stories from a single picture.
More like a Rubik’ s cube, where a single photograph needs a zillion permutations and combinations to breathe life into it.
Welcome to a journey where every photograph is a chapter, and the story unfolds with every frame - a journey where the wilderness comes alive in vivid pixels, and as he invites us to witness the untold tales etched in the heart of the wild.
What sets me apart is not just my technical prowess, but the intuitive understanding of the wildlife he captures. Each photograph is a revelation, a testament to the trust earned, the hours spent in quiet observation, and the profound connection I forge with my subjects..
As we embark on this visual odyssey, I invite you to explore the world through my eyes. The images are not just frozen moments; they are windows into the untamed soul of nature.
Thru my lens, you won't merely witness the predator's gaze or the grace of a herd on the move; you will feel the heartbeat of the jungle, the whisper of the wind through the leaves, and the pulse of life in its most authentic form. It's a journey that transcends the visual, inviting you to step into the wild with me as your guide.

The Curve Ball
My joining as a life member of the prestigious Photographic Society of Madras (PSM) was the turning point as they had some of the best photographers. Right from holding the camera to moulding me and my stories in the photos, I take today, to sharing the stage with some of the most renowned photographers for awards that were once just a dream… is all because of them.
My Specialization– Street & Wildlife
I started with the streets – simply sitting at times – Just Observing.
Freezing moments as they passed by, at railway stations, airports, markets places, & any place where a human was.
Emotions and Stories were my forte.
Expressions and Reactions were my tools to convey.
I always loved the story behind the picture and allowed the same to be conveyed to the viewer.
The Creative Fight
Imagination never stops and neither does competition.Taking photos was good enough but knowing what I had taken had to have a meaning and needed approval, not just mine... but of the Viewer too. Entering competitions helped me understand why one was rejected and the other accepted as rules started to define a better meaning to my world of photography.
Winning in some of the most prestigious competitions gave me the urge to create better ones as the creativity bug dug deeper into my soul.
From the heart of the dense Indian forests, & the expansive savannahs of Africa, I have traversed diverse landscapes, always seeking that perfect composition that encapsulates the spirit of my wild subjects. The portfolio is a living testament to the patience and dedication required to freeze the moments that epitomize the raw & unfiltered beauty of the natural world
