About the Photographer
I am a wildlife photographer and filmmaker by passion, which complements well with my professional work as a wildlife biologist.
As a photographer, my interest lies in documentation of wildlife and natural heritage in South and South-East Asia and to use photography as a media to connect people with nature. This requires a persistent effort in acquiring knowledge on wildlife as well as excelling in the techniques of photography which has been the pursuit of my life for past one decade. My images have been published in national and international magazines, books and reports by individual writers and conservationists, government and non-government agencies and commercial publishers. I am a Nikon Expertive in the wildlife sector and a member of Nikon Professional Services (NPS).
I am currently working as a Senior Scientist in Aaranyak, with specialisation in conservation genetics. I am also heading the Media Production & Communications Division of Aaranyak and act as the Chief Editor of ecoNE, an online magazine and digital platform for biodiversity and environmental issues of Northeast India. Prior to my work in Aaranyak, I curved my skills in various places inclduing the Department of Ecology and Evolution, University of Chicago, Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun and BNHS, India.
