Son of Indian parents, Anup was born in Kenya, East Africa. A favourite activity while growing up there was visiting the nearby Nairobi National Park where he spent many hours watching wild animals roaming in their natural environment. This experience became the foundation for a career in wildlife photography. After higher education in England and several university degrees, he returned to Kenya and developed his interest in wildlife photography. He is now internationally well known for his books and magazine stories and through winning awards.
Books include
A Tigers Tale, Meres et Petits, The Circle of Life: Wildlife on the African Savannah, Savane, The African Odyssey: 365 Days, The Great Rift Valley of East Africa and
Serengeti Spy. His latest book
Tales from Gombe, a detailed insight into the lives of the chimpanzees of Gombe National Park in Tanzania, was published in October 2014.
Anup also features in
The Masters of Nature Photography: Wildlife Photographer of the Year and was included in
Horzu magazine’s
Top 5 Wildlife Photographers of the World feature in 2010.
