Ankit Malviya · Central India
“Mornings spent waiting in the light, and the patience to know which light to wait for.”

The way I work

I photograph birds the way you should meet them, quietly, and on their terms. No baiting, no crowding a nest, no chasing a bird off its perch for a frame.

Specific locations are never published, to protect nesting and feeding sites.
