Gaurav took his first pictures – snaps of family and pets – at the age of just three, with a basic camera from his father. Later, on holiday in India’s Mudumalai National Park, his dad let him borrow his SLR camera – and Gaurav’s passion for nature photography began. He has since photographed across India and won several awards, including in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
