Usha Harish is a wildlife photographer and a safari planner based in Kenya who loves wildlife & nature and likes to capture the emotions of people and animals alike in their natural habitat. She wants to showcase the wilderness around and spread awareness to the world about conservation through her photographic work. Beautiful colors, animal patterns, and animal behavior intrigue her as much as the act of translating those into images using the camera. She has traveled all across East and Southern Africa and India for wildlife. The journey has become fascinating, as she engages in various projects, commissioned work.
