He began photographing wildlife in the 1960s. Much before he turned into a wildlife photographer, he would enjoy an occasional bout of shikar in the jungle. But he soon realised the importance of conservation, and he took it forward through photography.

He saw the transition in the field of photography, from a distinctly black-and-white photographic world to one awash in colour to other advances in technology.The intellectual arrangement strives to preserve the provenance and original order of the papers.
