I took my first photo with a DSLR in the beginning of 2015 and fell love immediately. My first photo was of a bird in my backyard. I started with all kind of photographing but ended up shooting nature and mostly wild animals.

I spend lot of time with them. I start carefully from a far distance and then slowly, day-by-day, I try to get closer. I learned to know how the animal behaves and reacts to my presence. No sudden movements or loud noises. Over time they start trusting me more and let me closer.
