I am a retired scientist. I am presently a J. C. Bose National Fellow at Bose Institute, Kolkata. I have always held a keen interest in wildlife. However, I took to capturing images of wildlife around two years ago, and have been avidly into this since then. My primary interest is in photographing mammals, with a special interest in big cats. It has been a constant process of learning since I started shooting wildlife. I have had the opportunity of travelling and learning from several photography mentors, each of whom has helped me greatly along the way with their unique insights into photography.
