A pioneer of wildlife photography tours in the Sundarbans, Soumyajit is especially known for his tiger tracking expertise – a skill that’s earned him collaborations with BBC, NatGeo, and other major documentary producers. He is credited with discovering the tiger tracking mechanism in the Sundarbans and has assisted photoshoots across Kaziranga, Bandhavgarh, Pilibhit, and Surai.

In 2014, he won the 3rd prize in the Himalayan Birds competition organized by Saveus at the Arunachal Bird Festival.

Beyond the field, Soumyajit enjoys music, movies, wildlife documentaries, and photo/video editing. He believes that being a great naturalist is key to becoming a great wildlife photographer.
