Amit Parashar – Wildlife Through the Eye of a Technologist, Soul Through the Frame of a Photographer

In an age where most chase clarity through screens, Amit Parashar found it through the viewfinder—waiting quietly in the wilderness, letting nature speak in silence. An accomplished wildlife photographer, technology professional, and advocate for conservation, Amit blends two distinct worlds: one of frequencies and communication networks, the other of patience and soul.

His early life in a small Indian city instilled in him an intuitive connection with nature. Later, his engineering background and global career exposed him to the accelerating world of digital transformation. Yet, even as he contributed to India’s digital growth story, Amit continued returning to the forests—camera in hand, heart wide open.

Over the years, Amit has developed a compelling body of wildlife photography work that spans the diverse terrains of Panna, Jim Corbett, Rajaji, Keoladeo Ghana, Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, Ranthambhore, and beyond. His portfolio is rich with images that capture the raw, unfiltered truth of the wild—from the piercing gaze of a tiger in golden grass to the delicate lift of a sarus crane at dawn. He has documented leopards emerging like shadows from grasslands, owls silhouetted against a dusty dusk, and elephants wading through ancient riverbeds. Every frame tells a story—not of conquest, but of coexistence.

What sets Amit’s work apart is not just what he photographs—but how.

He is especially drawn to the artistry of black & white imagery, where the absence of color enhances emotion, mood, and timelessness. His black & white wildlife images transform the forest into a realm of abstraction and emotion—where light, shadow, and silence become characters in their own right.

In addition, Amit explores the lesser-seen world of infrared wildlife photography. Through this technique, he captures a surreal and almost meditative vision of the natural world—banyan trees glowing white, dry landscapes turned luminous, and clouds appearing like spirits of the Earth, suspended in another dimension. This deep visual exploration goes beyond documentation—it is philosophy in pixels.

In recognition of his unique vision and evolving body of work, Amit was featured in the February 2022 edition of Smart Photography magazine, a milestone that acknowledged not only his skill but his storytelling depth. The feature delved into his photographic journey, his influences, and how his images seek to evoke not just admiration but awareness.

Beyond the lens, Amit remains a vocal advocate for ethical wildlife tourism and responsible conservation. He raises questions about the unchecked spread of resorts along forest boundaries, and the policy loopholes that allow habitat fragmentation in the name of development. For Amit, photography is also activism. “We choke their spaces, and then cry when animals enter ours,” he says. His images call for reflection and reform—a reminder that the jungle does not need our sympathy, it needs our respect and restraint.

Whether through his role in India’s communication advancement or his deep work in nature photography, Amit’s philosophy is consistent: use every platform to give back, educate, and uplift. He continues to support conservation causes, and document the wild with humility and reverence.

In every pixel he captures, there’s a message:
The wild is not entertainment. It is ancient. It is sacred. And it is slipping away.
Unless we see it differently. Unless we feel it deeply.
