NATURE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2017

FACE TO FACE IN A
RIVER IN BORNEO

A male orangutan peers from behind a tree while crossing a river in Borneo, Indonesia. Rampant palm oil cultivation threatens this critically endangered ape, forcing the normally arboreal species to resort to unusual behavior—such as wading through crocodile-infested rivers—in order to survive.

"I'm happy because the orangutan deserves (the prize) more than me."

Growing up in the heart of western ghats(India), you wake up everyday to the harmony of birds chirping along with the sounds of wind against the leaves and the mellow melody of the babbling brooks and feel a pure sense of serenity.

Nature shares its bounty unconditionally and in abundance.This realisation humbles me to have deep regard for mother nature.

I felt a sense of responsibility and a deeper sense of relation that prompted my dedication towards conservation.

Having realised early that words fail me has paved a perfect medium in Photography that has enabled to share my story to the world around me.

Thanks for you time.
