The Book

Wildlife Photography Is More Than Pressing the Shutter

A powerful lens can only take you so far. The photographs that stop people mid-scroll come from somewhere else entirely — an understanding of animal behaviour, a feel for light, the patience to wait for a moment that may never repeat, and the fieldcraft to be in the right place when it does.

How to Master Wildlife Photography is a practical roadmap for photographers who want to close the gap between the pictures they take and the pictures they see in their mind — built around camera settings, composition, fieldcraft, ethics and the discipline of storytelling through a single frame.

  • Animal Behaviour
  • Camera Craft
  • Light & Composition
  • Fieldcraft & Patience
  • Ethics
  • Storytelling

The book teaches you to read a scene before you raise the camera — not just to memorise numbers.

International, National & State Award-Winning Photographer
First Indian to secure 1st Place in the GBBC Photography Contest 2016
