Anil's work

The perfect photo requires practice, patience and discipline.

Animals

6 frames

The same patience at a shorter distance, with a subject who is usually pleased to see you.

Portraits

16 frames

Families in canola, newborns on white and dancers against a post, lit simply and unhurried enough that people forget the camera is there.

A frog sitting still on wet gravel, its eye catching the light

Wildlife

16 frames

Bison, bighorn sheep, bull elk and a white wolf, all photographed from far enough away that the animal never stopped doing what it was doing.

Weddings

8 frames

A day photographed as it happens, from the getting ready to the vows to the hour after dinner when nobody is watching the camera any more.

Scenery

9 frames

Mountain water, prairie sky and the long light of a northern summer, photographed at the ends of the day when the light is worth the drive.

A heart for animals

The Edmonton Humane Society

The camera goes to the animals first, the wild ones out in the field and the ones asleep on somebody’s couch.

The animal’s comfort outranks the photograph, which in practice means distance, quiet and a long wait. It is practice, patience and discipline pointed at something alive.

There is no campaign attached to it. It is where some of the work goes back.
