Who’s Behind the Lens
His photographs aren’t just visually stunning — they’re deeply personal. Sometimes raw, always real, they make you feel like you were the one crouching in the grass, holding your breath, staring through the lens. His work turns even the smallest creature into a legend.
And if you’re lucky enough to travel with him, you won’t just learn about animals. You’ll learn about wonder. About silence. About patience. About storytelling. It's a Conversation. And the lens is the translator with nature as the Backdrop.
Salil doesn’t believe in “point-and-shoot.” He believes in “wait-and-be-there.” He has a sixth sense for wildlife, to anticipate what the animal would do next. Some say animals trust him. While others chase luck, Salil says, “Luck is just what happens when you’ve been sitting in the same spot for 6 hours without blinking.”
Salil brings a blend of creativity, patience, thoughtfulness and the No Photoshop - No gimmicks. He sees the extraordinary in the ordinary. The drama in the quiet. The story in the stillness, it’s visual poetry, and infinite stories that make you believe in the wild all over again.
Just real moments, framed one latitude at a time.
He’s mentored hundreds of photographers and travelers, teaching them not just technique, but reverence. His most important rule? "Always respect the animal. Even if it’s just a squirrel."
And if you’re lucky enough to travel with him, you won’t just learn about animals. You’ll learn. About silence. About patience. About storytelling. It's a Conversation. And the lens is the translator with nature as the Backdrop.
Come with me along with your Curiosity. There’s so much more to frame.
