Growing up in a small town in the Himalayan foothills instilled in me a deep affinity for the natural world and all things wild. Well into adulthood, that connection continues to draw me outdoors, with most of my wanderings leading me to the mountains, forests and wildernesses of India. Field Notes is an ongoing photographic series that brings together moments from my time spent in these places. It is as much an expression of my own relationship with nature as it is an attempt to hold on to something that feels increasingly fragile.

At its heart, the series is a personal meditation on the wild. In preserving the memory of these places, it is a reminder of the fragile, extraordinary worlds that exist beyond our own concrete jungles, and of all that we stand to lose if we fail to protect them.
