ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Th black Rhino is an endangered species and numbers are going down due to the demand of it’s horn. This animal with a cut off horn had come to a watering hole near our lodge in the wild late one night. One needs to educate the world on the damage we humans are causing by endangering such species which would eventually cause an imbalance in the wild.
This image has been captured with a remote flash (with a mag-mod attached) which I had placed about 30 mtrs away from the animal and myself in the middle of the night. The stripes you see is the reflection of the ripples in the water on the body and thought it made a very interesting frame.

AUTHOR
Singapore based published photographer/author focusing on digital art, as well as portraiture, street, landscape and wildlife photography. I call myself a life long student of photography who does not like being categorized in any one genre. I always say photography is a learning process and one learns something new from everyone provided you are willing to look and listen.
I had a natural flair for photography since childhood, studied it in school, followed by self- learning and workshops over the last decade. More recently I has honed my skills through photography expeditions around the globe , which include major wildlife destinations in India, Sri Lanka and Africa. I am also a graduate from the New York Institute of Photography and an Olympus Visionary.
​
To me photography is an art - A true medium of self-expression. After my visits to Ladakh in northern India I was inspired to do my first coffee table book, “Swades; Ladakh: The Land of Splendour”, published by Knowledge World Publishers, in September 2010, to showcase the beauty of the region. To travel with me on one of my adventures, I can be contacted at ranjan@ranjan.photography.
​
I have thereafter been covered and published in various media in India and overseas - Sanctuary Asia Publication, Green Leaf, BanyoPran and Outdoor Photographer. Recently the WWF has also used his images in their campaigns. My works have been exhibited in Solo shows and also group shows at the World Photo Biennial held in Spain and Germany.
