A journalist who turned into a PR professional and handled corporate communications and PR roles and now a traveler and natural-history photographer – Shivang Mehta has worn many professional hats. His love for the forests of Kumaon pushed him to choose Corbett as his main area of work and he left the cozy comforts of corporate offices to work on the field with his organisation Nature Wanderers which he started 10 years back.

Over the years Shivang through Nature Wanderers has conducted over 400 wildlife photography workshops in the past decade and is now an official trainer for Canon India as he conducts wildlife photography workshops in association with Canon across India, Sri Lanka and Africa. His love for photography, writing and story telling made him a freelance journalist as well as he has written travel notes, columns on travel and conservation for numerous national and international publications.
