I am Manish Vaidya, a nature photographer based in Mumbai, India. Photography for me is a medium to tell stories about the incredible biodiversity of our planet with the hope that it will bring all of us closer to nature.
I prefer making images which are less descriptive and more interpretative. This way, I manage to tell my story and portray my perspective through the photographs but still leave enough room for the viewers to interpret the photograph in their own way.
