Dhritiman Mukherjee: Wild Encounters in India

When I call Dhritiman Mukherjee, one of India’s finest nature and wildlife photographers, he is spending the night on a small boat in the Sundarbans. He nonchalantly tells me that at 6.30 pm, it’s dark; he can see the moon and his boat is swaying gently to the tune of the wind. He has been camping for the last three nights in the Sundarbans to try and photograph the Bengal Tiger. He says that he has been to the Sundarbans over 60 times and hasn’t shot a single noteworthy picture of the Bengal Tiger there.
