People who devote their lives doing this are very important as they are helping us understand how mother nature works whilst capturing the beauty of it. One of these people is Pranay Patel, an ambitious, young photographer, with stars in his eyes, who has been gaining popularity in the world of photography quite rapidly.

He was always interested in wildlife photography ever since he was a child and started photography at the tender age of 13! According to him, nature is the best artist and animals are the precious little creations that fill the canvas of our planet with colours and joy. He says that animals in the wild are very unpredictable, so to capture something worthy, you need to have a divine sense of patience.

Patel has more than ten years of experience working in this beautiful field of wildlife photography. He is always eager to learn something new about the environment and constantly hopes to bring something special in his works, something that speaks to the people. Furthermore, as it is valid for a wide range of photography styles, the additional time a picture taker goes through with the subjects, the more private and special the pictures will end up being.

He is also widely popular for his photography spree to Maasai Mara called, The Wild Earth of Africa which was launched by Shri Mukesh Ambani in 2015.

“Photography is my passion, not my profession. It is like a compulsion, this feeling, I cannot describe it in words. I love the idea of capturing things and moments in a frame. Feels like frozen poetry to me,” says Patel, grinning. According to him the more you invest time in a thing, be it a hobby, or a job or anything else for that matter, the more personal touches can be in your work, making it special for you, therefore also making it highly enjoyable for you.Patel has been frequently showcasing his brilliant artistic and strikingly exotic photography skills in various photo exhibitions.

His works are widely popular across the globe, in India and other countries like Russia and the USA. This charismatic photographer has received critical acclaim for his top-notch photography skills, which is a huge feat for someone so young.
