Field photography · Rajasthan & Gujarat, India

Patience, held still long enough to become a photograph.

Field photography from India's forests and wetlands — I spend my days waiting for the moment that can't be staged.

Recent sightings from the field

A rotating selection from ongoing work at Keoladeo National Park and its surrounding wetlands — updated as new frames come back from the field.

The approach

No staged shots. No bait. No shortcuts.

Every frame here is made on foot, at a distance the animal chose, in light no one arranged. Some mornings that means two hours for one usable frame. Some mornings it means none at all.

I work primarily around Keoladeo National Park's wetlands, where herons, storks, pythons and kingfishers share a small, dense stretch of reed and water — and further afield in the Rann of Kutch and the Thar Desert when the season is right. The real skill isn't finding the subject, it's waiting for it to stop noticing you.
