Why India Needed Wild By Nature: A One-Stop Wildlife Photography Platform

What if there was one place where you could learn from the best, go on curated ethical safaris, buy or sell your gear, and connect with like-minded wildlife lovers all without the endless Googling, DMing, or guesswork?

That’s exactly why Wild By Nature was born.

We weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel. We just saw that it was broken.

So, what was missing?

Wildlife photography in India is full of passionate people, up until now, it’s also been scattered, inconsistent, and often inaccessible.

Want mentorship? You’d have to know someone who knows someone.

Need a used telephoto lens? Risky WhatsApp groups and Telegram channels.

Looking for a reliable, ethical safari? Good luck navigating that mess.

Basically, there was no reliable ecosystem built specifically for the Indian wildlife photography community.

Enter: Wild By Nature - India’s first all-in-one wildlife photography platform

This isn’t just another photography page or gear store. It’s a purpose-driven platform built to support every step of your wildlife photography journey.

Here’s what we bring together under one roof:

1. Mentorships that actually matter

From beginners to semi-pros, everyone deserves guidance. So we’ve handpicked some of India’s best photographers across genres - birds, mammals, landscapes, macros, to help you learn the ropes, hone your skills, and find your own voice.

2. Verified gear marketplace

Forget shady deals. Our pre-loved camera and lens marketplace is built for trust and transparency. Each listing is verified, and each transaction is between real people, not bots or dealers.

3. Curated wildlife safaris (the ethical kind)

We’re not tour operators. We’re community-first.

Our safaris are built with photographers in mind: proper vehicles, trained naturalists, right zones, right times. No overcrowded gypsies or last-minute chaos. Just real field experiences, done right.

4. Competitions & features with real value

We’re not here to chase clout. We run thoughtfully curated contests and feature programs that give emerging photographers visibility, mentorship, and sometimes cash prizes or gear.

5. Pan-India, community-first energy

We’re not just for the pros. We’re not just for the jungles of Central India. We’re building a network that supports everyone - from college students in Guwahati to working professionals in Pune.

Why now?

Because everyone is a photographer today. But not everyone has access.

Because wildlife needs storytellers more than ever.

Because we can’t build a community without a home.

We didn’t launch Wild By Nature for the clicks. We launched it because we needed it too.

Now that it’s here, we hope it becomes your place to learn, grow, explore, and contribute.
