Mentor Portfolio

Hari Krishna Vyas is a dedicated wildlife photographer whose lens is as much about empathy as it is about art. Based in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, Hari has been capturing the soul of the wild since 2016 turning fleeting animal moments into stories that stay with you.

Armed with a Nikon Z9 and a Nikkor VR 400mm f/2.8, he has explored the rich and diverse habitats of India from the iconic forests of Kabini, Tadoba, and Bandipur, to the lush expanses of Pench and Bhadra Tiger Reserve. But Hari’s heart beats loudest for the authentic, raw landscapes of the Deccan Plateau, where human-wildlife interactions are intense, complex, and deeply real. His current focus lies in documenting these lesser-seen regions, where stories of survival, coexistence, and conflict unfold daily.

His work is widely appreciated on his Instagram handle @thecreedphotography_wildlife, where each frame reflects his deep respect for both wildlife and the communities around them. Hari believes that photography goes beyond aesthetics; it’s a medium for awareness, compassion, and change.

Beyond the field, Hari leads a life that’s grounded and full of joy. A corporate professional by day, he finds balance by immersing himself in nature every morning. He’s passionate about music, an avid reader, a loyal cricket player, and a dog dad to a joyful German Shepherd who brings playfulness to his everyday routine.

Coming from a middle-class family rooted in values, Hari shares a close bond with his two younger brothers and is supported by his entrepreneurial father. Together, they form a household where passion, learning, and simplicity thrive.

As a mentor at Wild By Nature, Hari brings clarity, kindness, and deep field experience to every conversation. Whether guiding new photographers, leading photo tours, or sharing his own journey he’s here to help others not just take photos, but tell stories that matter.
