'Tiger Camouflage' Ranthambhore (2008) - The atmosphere was electric, filled with expectation of a tiger sighting in the wild. The Langur alarm calls became louder as the tiger moved closer. It finally made a grand appearance, approached my vehicle from the front.

It paused for a moment, at a spot that gave a perfect balance to the old ruin, and gifted me this rare shot.

These humble vendors, often overlooked, embody the essence of Indian hospitality and the spirit of community.

Welcome to my world of photography! Since I started my journey with the camera over 40 years ago, I have tried to capture fine art photography images of our universe, that convey a sense of beauty, awe and inspiration. It is a challenging endeavour, as perfect moments have to be captured at the precise moment as they happen, unlike for a painter, who has the liberty of creating art with the help of memory or reference. I invite you to explore and enjoy those fleeting moments, which I am happy to offer to you as limited edition fine art photography prints!
