Bengaluru-based natural history platform, Nature in Focus, introduces new category to its annual photography contest

When Nature in Focus (NIF) first introduced its annual photography contest back in 2015, the intent was simple — to recognise the skill and hard work of wildlife photographers across India. “Recognition is important,” believes Rohit Varma, the co-founder of this Bengaluru-based platform for natural history storytellers.

He says that he also wanted these images to make more people fall in love with nature. “If you see these, somewhere, at the back of your mind, you start thinking you should go and visit this place. That is how, slowly, that connection with nature happens.”
