What else could one ask for when you dream of a subject in the mist heavy mangrove habitat of Sunderbans, where sighting a tiger in general is impossible, and becomes more and more unrealistic when cold foggy winds starts battering your boat, make it impossible to see even 10meters ahead of you?

Only the lucky are blessed to see, let alone photograph a foggy shadow of a mangrove ruler emerging out of the mist on a cold winter morning in Sunderbans!

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
