Wildlife Photographer • IT Support Manager • Nature Advocate

Paritosh Parekh is a Pune-based wildlife photographer who has been documenting wildlife since 2021. His fieldwork has taken him across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Chennai - with key shooting locations including Bhigwan, Tamhini, Ratnagiri, Panvel, and Wai. He has also explored wildlife across Thailand, Hong Kong, and other parts of India.

Paritosh shoots with the Canon R6 Mark II and a 100–500mm RF lens, focusing on birds, and mammals.His work reflects a deep commitment to ethical wildlife photography - guided by the belief that nature must be observed without intrusion and that the lens should serve as a tool for empathy and awareness.

Outside the wild, Paritosh works as an IT Support Manager and is a dedicated sports enthusiast - with a love for cricket inspired by legends like Tendulkar, Dhoni, and Kohli. He also enjoys badminton and table tennis as part of his active lifestyle.

He comes from a close-knit family, the youngest among three sisters, and shares a playful bond with his nieces and nephew - who he jokingly calls his "personal trainers."
