By virtue of his passion for environment and travel, Alok got slowly drawn into the exciting depths of wild-life photography from 2016 onwards. He started his photography journey in a modest manner by using Nikon primary gears to shoot landscapes, portrait and street photographs, later, as his passion in bird photography went deeper, and he started and embarked upon his journey of wildlife awareness & conservation in the Corbett Tiger Reserve (CTR) area of Uttarakhand. Apart from CTR, he has frequently travelled to various national parks known for their enticing wildlife- Dudhwa National Park, Ranthmabore Tiger Reserve, Jim Corbett National Park, Kevaladev Bird Sanctuary Bharatpur, Haldupadav Forest area etc.
His favourite haunts for Bird photography have been the areas in Uttarakhand- Chopta, Devalsary, Chakrata, Massuri, Dhanaulty, Maldevta, Sitabani Forest areas, Kotabag, Sattal andPangot. He has also explored the Okhla Bird Sanctuary and Dhanauri wet lands on the outskirts of Delhi NCR for Bird photography.

Every creature in the nature has a unique purpose therefore respect the nature and to everything associated with it. Make this world a sustainable, meaningful and beautiful place for everyone. The mission is to inculcate the message of concern to the nature.
You may start with capturing animals or birds like squirrels, rabbits, or any equally small skittish mammal, bulbuls, jungle babblers, crows etc which you may easily and can serve as a stand-in. Unless they are seasoned opportunists that have acclimated to humans through the language of handouts and picnic leftovers, these mammals or birds tend to run and hide the moment they see you. If you do spot one, freeze. Chances are the little guy is already on to you and waiting to see your next move. If you remain still and divert your gaze, there’s a good chance the chipmunk will figure you are not an impending threat and slowly back off high alert.
If you are within photographic range, slowly lift your camera to your eye and take a few frames. If your camera has a silent mode, this is a good time to engage it. If these mammal or birds seems “chill,” move in a bit closer, wait a few moments, and slowly bring the camera to your eye once again. With time and patience, you can often get surprisingly close, which makes for better photographs.
You should always try to isolate your subject from distractions in the foreground and background, which is why it’s a good idea to shoot at wide apertures when photographing in wooded or similarly cluttered areas. Capturing birds in flight is always trickier, especially with long focal length lenses, but, when the images are sharp, they can be truly powerful to view.
Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to photograph wildlife because these are feeding and roosting times. Early morning and late afternoon are also the prettiest times to take pictures because of the warm, low angles of sunlight that pierce deeper into the tree canopies than the harsher and deeper shadows of midday light. This is especially true during the summer months.
photographic opportunities abound if you include insects, amphibians, and reptiles—there’s no doubt members of these species can be found pretty much anywhere—the number of subjects you can Photograph is endless.
