India’s Most Popular Wildlife Photographer & Mentor
His work has been featured by CNN, India Today, The Indian Express, and The Times of India, which also rated him among India’s most popular wildlife photographers.
Yogesh created global buzz with his record-making photograph of a just-born spotted hyena cub being carried by its mother — one of the rarest natural behaviours ever captured. His visual storytelling continues through expeditions across Spiti Valley, where he has documented the elusive snow leopard and the delicate balance of life in the Himalayas.
As a mentor, Yogesh leads wildlife photography workshops and expeditions across India and Africa, training photographers to master fieldcraft, behaviour study, and storytelling compositions. His mission is to use the power of photography to inspire awareness and action for wildlife conservation.
Yogesh Bhatia is an award-winning wildlife photographer, mentor, and conservation storyteller whose work bridges the wild landscapes of India and Africa. From the iconic elephants of India’s forests to the majestic predators of Africa’s plains, his images celebrate nature’s power and poetry.
In 2024, Yogesh’s elephant photograph was featured on a massive billboard in Mumbai, in collaboration with Sanctuary Nature Foundation and DSP Mutual Fund, carrying a message to Conserve Wildlife — a proud moment for Indian nature photography.
