Wandering into forests & enjoying nature has been a part of my life since when I was a child, as I was involved with one of the local non-governmental organisation, formally known as ‘Nature Club Surat’ working for Nature Conservation & Education activities. Since those days I started observing nature from the closest & developed deep feeling of love and affection towards natural wonders of the world. I picked up a camera to capture the beauty of life in its all latent raw forms. I enjoy clicking possibilities of different form of nature’s most amazing elements in their own environment. Initially for many years I was just making portraits, having nothing very obvious about this form of art. But, with certain time frame I understood the values of creating an art piece & extracting imaginary beauty out of some apparent elements of Nature. I started scrutinising some tiny but yet powerful basics in close proximity of my thoughts, which can carry potential to put up huge impact on viewer’s mind & soul.

 

Being into some conservation activities I started believing that capturing uncommon animals should be avoided. Art form of Nature Photography provides me the satisfaction as a preservationist & nature lover, where every natural loveliness is my subject irrespective of its common appearance.

 

I try my level best to capture the beauty beyond general identity of wildlife. This is nor abstract nor fiction; for me it’s just visual luxury, nothing else. Colors, patterns, intensity, Minimalism, Peace, Flow, Green, Monochrome, are probably I now believe into. I enjoy my moments creating images, and share the same to the viewers. Nothing more than this. It has given me courage to preen out my professional career as an engineer, & provided me the freedom to live as an artist. The obsession of being an artist has fused me to myself.

 

I am basically a Mechanical Engineer and worked at Larsen & Toubro for more than 7 years as a Planning & Execution Engineer before I convinced myself to leave this job to peruse my hobby for full time.

 

Surat city in Gujarat state of India is where I opened my eyes. And I was teenager when I urged myself to think about Nature Photography. Due to loads of reasons I was not able to travel to longer destinations to click pictures, in consequence to satisfy my zeal I started from my home-ground itself. Afterwards I have been travelling to several other places but the old-flame is still in my home ground ‘Gujarat’.

 

My work reflects millions of thoughts provoked during my journey as Nature Photographer. The pictures displayed here depict, not only the natural history but the prettiness of diversified nature at distinct perspective. The voyage starts from my balcony, ranging from deep semi-deciduas forests, soundless runs & endless grasslands, passing through strident coastal lines & colossal wetlands of this state. The elements of nature wondering through this site, do not belong to any particularity or orderly eco-system. This is just a pleasure to eyes, not an informative or educational material in any case. The endeavor may remain up to involving a viewer into selfless concern and deep affection for nature’s essentials & creating soft-spot that can generate consciousness for conservation movements. Because if we love, we care.

 

I would thoroughly like to thank all the viewers who would ever go through my work of photography.
