Wildlife / Animals nominee

This series amplifies the variety available when shooting the glorious gannet. I've had lots of fun exploring different techniques; playing with light and compostion whilst creating a storyline within each image. I feel this series also lends itself really well to fine art photography because of its different painterly effect in each shot.

I was born in Madras, India, and have had the privilege of calling many incredible places home, including Hong Kong, Mumbai, Singapore, Wellington (New Zealand), and London. In recent years, I’ve been drawn to exploring the natural world more deeply, finding peace, excitement, and immense satisfaction in photographing wildlife.

I’m deeply passionate about the impact humans are having on our planet, particularly as I live in one of the most wildlife-depleted countries in the world. Through my photography, I aim not only to capture the beauty and wonder of the natural world but also to highlight the urgent risks facing it.

It’s both an honor and a privilege to document these fleeting moments and share them, hoping to inspire others to appreciate and protect the fragile world we all share.
