The Untold Stories of the Eastern Ghats


My journey into the wild began over eight years ago, driven by a deep fascination with the raw, undocumented beauty of my home region the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh, India. While much of the world's attention is focused on famous national parks, I found my purpose in the uncelebrated landscapes in my backyard.

I specialize in macro, avian, and landscape photography. My work aims to bridge the gap between people and nature. Through meticulous documentation and visual storytelling, I've recorded over 350+ species, bringing awareness to ecosystems that are rapidly changing due to human impact.
