About Mentor

Dinesh M. Tandekar

Maharashtra

For Dinesh Tandekar, photography isn’t just a skill, it’s a way of life. Based in the heart of Maharashtra, Dinesh has spent the past eight years chasing light, patience, and presence in the wild. From the grace of birds in flight to the elusive beauty of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, his lens tells stories that many miss in a world moving too fast.

A Sony Alpha user and deeply committed field photographer, Dinesh is known not only for his beautiful imagery but for his grounded, grassroots approach. He travels extensively in search of new locations, often choosing remote and lesser-known spots over popular trails. His work has been publicly displayed and recognized for its authenticity and field-driven perspective.

What sets Dinesh apart is his willingness to share. Whether it’s through photo tours, physical workshops, or virtual mentorship, he finds joy in guiding others especially those who are just starting out. His belief is simple but powerful: “There is no limit to what you can do.”

Backed by a loving and supportive family and driven by a passion for learning and exploration, Dinesh embodies what Wild By Nature stands for: honesty, humility, and heart in the wild. When he's not behind the camera, you’ll likely find him planning his next field visit or unwinding with a volleyball game, always curious, always grounded.
