The photographer

About Ishan

Ever since I was young, I've loved wildlife and nature. This portfolio is my way of sharing that love with you — every photo here is a moment I wanted to hold on to and pass on.

I'm a student in London, and between exams I edit, post and grow this portfolio through @ishwildlife on Instagram. Every frame here is my own, shot in the field and edited by hand.
