The Story in Brief
With World Photography Day on August 19, Mumbai wildlife photographers stress that capturing a tiger in the wild demands patience and respect, not just expensive equipment. Businessman Vikram Dave, who makes five to six safaris a year, says tigers are solitary and elusive, making every sighting special. Celebrity stylist Aesana Bhuta warns against crowding animals: "It is their home that we are visiting." IT professional Hemant Shankar Khushale spent five years perfecting his tiger shots and says summer months offer the best visibility. Professor Lokesh Tardalkar adds that studying a park's geography and light creates images that tell a stronger conservation story.
The Indian Opinion
Safari trips and expensive cameras are often sold as the only ingredients for a great wildlife shot. This story quietly pushes back: the photographers themselves say patience, preparation and respect for the animal matter more than gear. If safaris become a trend, the risk is that tigers are treated as props. The real test is whether the surge in visitors leads to better conservation or more crowding at waterholes.
