Malaysian photographer named National Geographic Explorer for Kenya Wildlife Project

His proposal to the National Geographic Society to document this phenomenon was approved in April, and Tinesh was scheduled to start a field work in Masai Mara on August 10, which also coincided with the peak of the migration season.

“Masai Mara is the heart rate of this large -magnitude. This is not only an extraordinary view but also a symbol of balance between nature and humanity,” Tinesh, 32, told names.

He said his job titled “Echoes of the Savannah” would be an exclusive stationary photography project, without video interruption, drones or multimedia.

“My intention is to tell the whole story of this migration, not only iconic rivers, but also ecological dynamics, predator clashes and victims, indigenous community perspectives and conservation challenges.”

This proposal stands out because it emphasizes the dynamics of ecosystems including conflicts between humans and wildlife, loss of habitat and the effects of climate change in animal behavior and migration patterns.

To maintain cultural and ecological sensitivity, Tinesh will work with local conservation experts, ecologists and the original Maasai community.

“Before taking any picture, I will refer to drivers and researchers who really recognize this field. Their view will be the basis for the picture that I recorded based on real experience,” he said, adding that he had spent months to prepare for field work.

Through the support of Sony Malaysia, Tinesh will use the latest 400-800 mm telephoto lens to record wildlife from the right distance without disturbing the natural behavior of the animal.

“Sony Malaysia’s support is not only technical but also reflects trust in this mission,” he said.

Tinesh said he would be there for 10 days to capture migration, the dynamics between predators and victims, conservation patrols and local indigenous peoples.

The final results of the project including high resolution images will be used for publications and archives under the Editorial National Geographic platform.

“I hope my work will be able to make the public aware that these animals are living things in the life system that we are also part of it,” he said.

“An image, when produced correctly, can change perspective and cause concrete changes.”
