  Stoic and grounded, Sanjay moves through the wilderness with a mindful presence, fully aware and utterly still, always present in the instant. Focused and patient, he embraces the discipline required of a true wildlife photographer, blending seamlessly into the forest greens so as not to startle the very subjects he seeks to honour through his lens. “The animals understand humans instinctively… I still remember a lion who ambled into a clearing. He looked at me—a few feet away—while I was ready with the camera. I felt those powerful eyes probing me from very close quarters, then he walked away in a leisurely manner, majestic as a sovereign. That casual incident shook me up and changed me forever. The King sensed no hostility in me and did not react aggressively. It seemed he was sending a silent message—and then he disappeared into the bush. That was electrifying! I was transformed by a strange moment scripted by destiny.” Sanjay once told me during a media interview years ago Transformed! That is the key word in such an odyssey. They endure the jungle to photograph it: remaining immobile for hours, unkempt, unwashed, waiting for the right moment, hardly stirring. Sometimes the shot comes quickly; sometimes, for days, they wait—camouflaged—until the reward for their labour arrives. These iconic pictures do the same for you, the invested viewer, who rarely witnesses the realities of this other world beyond the urban jungle. The mission for such photographers is simple: come face-to-face with divine creations and return—after each session—as an altered person, uplifted. “Slow down, savour each minute,” says Sanjay, the Wise. “Nature teaches you what philosophy cannot. Respect other forms of life. Value the earth. Wildlife is full of insights for human beings, provided you are listening to the signals.” This collection is a breathtaking journey into the other side of the divide arbitrarily created by “civilization” and progress. Each frame is rare—born of pure dedication, craft, love, and respect for the hunted and the voiceless.
