The Watcher in the Canopy
A baboon sits quietly, dwarfed by the towering geometry of the Doum Palms of Samburu. The moment captured was not just a moment, but instead a mood; a sense of contemplation, solitude, and scale. Nature is not just 'background'; it is their world, their habitat; their life.

About Artist
Malini Chandrasekar
Born in Madras, lived in Bombay, Hong Kong, Singapore, Wellington and call London home (for now). I was 12 years old when I got my first camera but only recently focussed primarily on wildlife. I love photographing wildlife because I find sharing these images can increase conversations for conservation. I also love the unpredictability nature and wildlife have to offer, which in turn inspires me to seek out the 'different'. As i'm a Graphic Designer, I enjoy marrying the two disciplines together creating approaches to wildlife photography otherwise not as common. A very clean and minimal approach suits but at times I also love the need for the opulence nature has to offer and like to reflect that in my photography style. I am perpetually learning so find nature and wildlife photography with all its everchanging elements a great way to hone in on this craft. Photography makes me very happy!
