I’m Hari Kumar, an Indian wildlife photographer living in Scotland. I’m deeply passionate about animals, wild places, and the need to conserve them. Photography is my way of sharing those wonderful moments I get to spend with wild animals in their natural habitat.
I’ve been lucky enough to be a two-time National Geographic Runner-Up Award winner in the Wildlife category, and many of my photos and articles have been published in UK and Indian newspapers and magazines.
So far, I’ve travelled to over 30 countries, exploring new landscapes and documenting the beauty of wildlife around the world. My dream is to continue discovering more places and capturing nature’s magic through my third eye – the camera.
My favourite animals are polar bears and black panthers. I was fortunate to photograph polar bears last year — a truly unforgettable experience. The black panther remains my dream shot, and I hope to meet and photograph him soon.
For me, photography is not just about taking pictures — it’s about feeling the moment, respecting nature, and sharing its beauty with the world.
“Through my lens, I try to connect people with the wild — to make them see, feel, and care.”
