During my travels, I had the opportunity to capture some amazing images of various animals. From the cats roaming the streets of India and Thailand to the monkeys in Nepal, I was able to capture the beauty and diversity of the urban animal kingdom through my camera lens.
As a street and travel photographer, I try to capture the daily life and the elements of the streets. And I think animals are an important part of it. City life can be repetitive and boring, but animals and humans coexist in a beautiful ecosystem. These animals bring beauty and life to the city. I take photographs of these animals because their unique personalities and behaviors fascinate me. It's amazing to see how these creatures adapt to living in the city.

When taking photographs of animals on the streets, it is important to respect their personal space. I observe them from a distance and wait patiently until they appear comfortable in their surroundings before taking a photo. Building trust with these creatures is crucial, and rushing the process can be counterproductive. Sometimes I am lucky, and the animals allow me to stay a little longer, letting me capture their natural behavior in its purest form. This is when I feel a true connection with these amazing creatures. By showing respect and love, I am rewarded with their essence in the photos.

Recently, during my travels to Nepal, I had the privilege of witnessing a heartwarming sight. As the sun began to set, I came across a mother monkey cradling her baby in her arms. The last rays of the sun were bathing them in a warm golden glow, creating a truly magical moment. It was as if Mother Nature herself was standing guard, watching over and protecting her precious children. The scene was really awe-inspiring and emotional.

The most common challenge I face while photographing animals is that sometimes they become cautious and try to run away when I approach them. Additionally, some animals can become territorial and aggressive. To avoid these situations, I use a longer focal length lens that allows me to capture close-up shots of the animal without getting too close. I also take my time to make my presence known to the animals and wait until they feel comfortable around me before taking any photographs.

I use photography to showcase the unique personalities of stray animals, highlighting their elegance and charm. My goal is to inspire love and care in people's hearts for these animals who are a valuable part of our lives. It is our responsibility to ensure their well-being and provide them with the care they require. Through my photos, I hope to encourage people to take action toward this goal.

We should show more love and kindness to the animals that share our urban spaces. They have been our companions for years, and they only need a little care and affection from us. If we each take a small step to show them some kindness, their lives would be enriched beyond measure. By extending our hearts and hands to them, we can make a positive difference in their world.
