My Photographs | Stories That I Cannot Put In Words

Jehangir HC Jehangir Chairman Jehangir Hospital Pune

Hi there.

My name is Jehangir HC Jehangir. I head one of India’s leading hospitals. And when I am not curing people or saving lives, I shoot images of animals in the wild. Some of the best memories in my life are from when I was hunting for game — either in the African savanna or the forest reserves of India.

I’m happiest when I’m by myself with my trusty Nikon slung around my neck, and a wildcat glaring at me from a few feet away!

I believe that two people are connected to every good picture — the nature photographer and the viewer. And while my passion for camerawork is a given, I also believe that there are many people out there who enjoy professionally-shot wild animals images.

Thus, for your pleasure, I present a few galleries containing images of everything avian, amphibian, reptilian, and mammalian.

Photo Gallery 1 | Featured in the 2022 Calendar


























The images in the gallery above are also featured in this year’s calendar. And every image tells us a different story. We have wildebeest, madly dashing down a riverbed, and lions lazing around in the Bush.

Here’s an eagle poised for take-off, and there’s an owl staring at you questioningly.

Do check if the close-up of the munia, highlighted against the blue sky, fills you with the same joy it brings me. Or of the serenity, I feel, when I see the flamingos, silhouetted in the last light of the day.

Humans anthropomorphise animals. We tend to look for a reflection of our own emotions in their behaviour.

And so, I smile at the audacity of the tiger, commandeering the road all to himself, daring you to approach.

I empathise with the ‘gotcha’ feeling of the heron as he spears his breakfast, and I wonder at the bullseye, target-like look of the white-eye as it peeks out of its nest.

Gallery 2 | Why Wildlife Photography?


























Why do I keep coming back to wildlife photography? What is it that I find so fascinating about Nature’s creatures? Why do I wait endless hours (often in vain) for that one perfect picture? I have been asked these and similar questions innumerable times.

Well, here are some possible reasons that drive my passion.

We are All Cavemen at Heart

For all our vaunted megacities and information superhighways, our brains are still wired to interact with Nature. This is the reason we enjoy walking in the woods, playing on the beach or simply gazing at the stars. This is probably why I find the call of the wild absolutely irresistible.

Nature is where we truly belong.

Animals Hold up a Mirror to Human Emotions

Purists dismiss this notion as anthropomorphism. But a great wild animals images are those that elicit a strong emotional response from its viewer. How else would you describe that maternal instinct of protection, triggered by seeing the baby baboon cuddle in its mother’s arms.

This family of mongooses perceive a danger, not seen in the frame. And the viewer is left wondering what the threat could possibly be.

The image of the tiger prowling behind the trees awakens us to the danger our ancestors faced, probably daily.

Witness also the joyous frolicking of the cheetah siblings or the majesty of the flamingo parade.

The Path to Success is Paved with the Bricks of Failure

Wildlife photography, like life itself, is mostly a matter of how many times you can take it on the chin, get up and keep going on.

For each of the photos you see here, I have discarded hundreds if not thousands of others. The earth does not care about the convenience of a nature photographer. You simply cannot command the weather, the light, what the animals want to do, or where they want to go. Too far away, and even the best telephoto lens will not help you. Too close, and the animal might simply run away!

So you patiently wait, try and try again until you are rewarded with that one perfect split second when everything comes together for an ideal shot. The osprey chasing its shadow a foot above the ground, and the fish eagle on the verge of taking off, would be the best examples of this.

God has Filled This World With Wonders

The pandemic shut down most of the human-controlled world. But thankfully, Nature didn’t get the message. And so, instead of heading out to the wilds of Africa this year, I focused my lens on the creatures in my own back garden.

And that’s when I started discovering beauty in even the most mundane, run-of-the-mill places.

Look! And I promise, you will too.

The kingfishers, for example, have been shot not far from Pune at Bhigwan, as was the baya (weaver bird), painstakingly building its nest one blade of grass at a time.

All of this goes to prove that wildlife photography doesn’t necessarily entail braving wilderness in search of elusive species inhabiting remote locations.

A View, From the Eye of the Tiger

We’ve been talking about looking at different animals all this while. But let’s turn the tables for a moment. What do you think the animals see when they look upon us?

Perhaps they see a species burdened by daily drudgery and fueled by mindless ambition. A race so blinded by materialism that it has forgotten what it is like, to live, and to love. Our furry, feathered, and sometimes fierce friends can teach us about the things that really matter.

Which is to take care; of our health, and of our loved ones.

So let’s resolve to take some time out to meditate and exercise. Let’s see, if we can leave that sugary treat alone, maybe switch off the phone and go tickle our kids in the room next door.

Here is wishing you a very healthy and peaceful 2022.
