Photography Scope

In India, we are embraced with varied animals and rare species, in which some are already in the extinct stage. The first and foremost step to protect animals is, creating awareness about their uniqueness and their significance to earth. Therefore, to create awareness we need professional wildlife photographers, and that's exactly where experienced photographers come forward.
As already said, India is famous for its wild flora and fauna, next to Africa and America, thus, wildlife photographers are filled with a great workspace. We have the Western Ghats, North-Eastern states, Great Indian Desert (Thar Desert) and the mighty Himalayas on four corners with unlimited species. There are many NGOs, environmental protection related (both national and international) that provide sponsorship for photographers to capture the rare species in different forms.
