For my personal introduction to say the least, I am a technocrat trying to find out easier and smart ways to get away from the "technology world" for my pursuits in wildlife. It's a passion and sheer poetry for my soul. I am most fascinated by the wonders of this natural world and every moment of my life is a walk in exploration. I have a keen interest in Avian Research specially Distribution and Environmental Niche Modeling, Population Dynamics of Waders, Breeding Biology of Gulls and Terns. Earlier I have worked on Marine Biology also.

 

I never wait for any opportunity to happen but have always endeavored to create them when they were least possible. I'm a bit techno savvy person...I use latest technology in all kind of stuff...

 

My most of the work is concentrated in Gujarat, Its one of, if not the best, place for wildlife photography. At present I seem to be concentrating on wild bird photography. I love photographing Birds especially Waders/Shorebirds and Seabirds.

 

My Photographs have been published in many national and international publications, books, scientific journals and monographs.

 

I believe that wildlife photography is much more than just equipment and materials. It is essentially a way of looking at nature with a kind of sensitivity and response. I also involved in wildlife protection and related projects by contributing my images to various organizations across the world. Hoping to inspire and ignite young minds about the need for wildlife conservation, I had delivered lectures to various sections of the society covering various aspects from Photography to conservation practices.

 

I'm currently working as a Deputy Manager – GIS and Remote Sensing in Foundation for Ecological Security, Anand.
