The photographer

Hi, I’m Dhanish.

I’m a wildlife and nature photographer from Muhamma, Alappuzha. I photograph the animals, birds and forests of India — and the fire rituals of Theyyam, one of Kerala’s oldest living traditions.

My work is licensed through Shutterstock, and I share travel films on my YouTube channel, Travel With MKP.
