Prasenjeet is an ecologist turned wildlife photographer. Born in a nature loving family, he was exposed to nature’s mysteries at a very early age, and a lot of his childhood was spent exploring the forests in central India. Early in his scientific career at NCBS, he realised that his true passion lay in storytelling. He now combines his research experience with his photography skills to tell stories about science, exploration and conservation. In 2014, he was awarded a Young Explorer Grant and Title from National Geographic Society to produce a story on evolution and speciation in the Shola forests of Southern Western Ghats. Since then, he has been constantly working with National Geographic Society and its photography department. He has just curated a photography assignment on Urban Wildlife for Nat Geo Your Shot.
