DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITY
South India Afternoon.
Having spent five days in the dense forests of South India in search of the elusive Black Panther, I had lost my wits. My team was on edge, because of the frustration that I was exhibiting. There was little we could do; we were at the mercy of the Black Panther showing itself to us.
All of a sudden my tracker stops dead in his tracks & with a hush points out to the silhouette of a magnificent beast coming up the ravine 35 to 40 feet away. It was a tigress, and all I could see was her beautiful face.
Though I wasn’t there to photograph the Tigress, her beauty and grace were unmatched to any animal I had taken images off in the wild. I had no choice but to grab my camera and begin photographing.
Sometimes in wildlife photography results are often different from what you set out to achieve, but a tigress so close was not even a thought. The lesson for me was who am I to complain, other than thank god for the opportunity to photograph one of the earth’s most graceful species.
TIGER PRINT | THE FIRST TIME
The meeting of the eyes, the sharing of the energy were all good until the tigress took her second step towards me which reduced the distance between us to less than 35 feet. Full-grown tigers are known to traverse more than 35 feet in a single leap, and I had mentally made a calculation that I was a leap away from her. I was frozen & transfixed as I had no Plan B or alternate, and I was supine on the dirt with the camera as my only support in hand.
When you spend as much time behind a camera as I have been fortunate to, you become one with your surroundings and your prey, and sometimes the roles reverse. My animals and I have always learned to breathe the same way and hear the same sounds, and this is why I always have the good faith belief that no Wild animal would ever attack a harmless human.
I was lucky she changed her focus and took a different direction.
Returning back to our New York gallery after such a fantastic wildlife expedition, we are excited to share these photos of the beautiful tigress. Limited Edition prints of our tiger photography are available for purchase.
ELECTRIC ENCOUNTERS
After six days which seemed like a never-ending journey in search of my elusive sighting, I finally found fortune to favor me.
I had a Godsend opportunity to face the tigress. I watched her from a distance and then up close. She glared at me and then hissed; I felt a definite connection.
That hiss was mesmerizing to me and almost hypnotic. The exchange of energy to something that great cannot be described in words, but only experienced in a real-life situation.
To share the energy of the tigress is to allow the flow of electricity within your being. To me, it was more about a connection, and I felt so connected to her during those few minutes.
This was a moment in my life that will be unforgettable, it was not a moment of fear or reckoning, but like an unseen eternal power from above. It was a connection with an energy force of this majestic beast, which was a greater force than me, more graceful and more beautiful than anything I have experienced.
To feel the fierce beauty and spiritual energy of the Tigress is what I would wish & hope for everyone. So that the world may learn that we need to take greater care of these greatly endangered species.
Black & white pictures of the stunning Indian tiger
One of the earth’s most graceful creatures — an animal that inspires awe and fear in equal proportion. Considered to be a rite of passage for wildlife photographers, capturing an image of a tiger or tigress in its natural habitat requires planning, skill, patience and luck. These gorgeous predators are one of nature’s most elusive large cats. But once you spot one and lock eyes — it’s a moment you will never forget. I’m privileged to be able to photograph Indian tigers at short range.

How climate change affects tigers
Being an apex predator, the tiger plays an important role in the health of an ecosystem. It maintains the balance between herbivores and the vegetation upon which they feed. Remove predators like tigers from here, and a delicate balance collapses.
Climate change is a massive threat to tigers — endangering their habitats and food sources. As climate change accelerates, the longer, drier, hotter seasons are increasing. This leads to wildfires that kill most of the vegetation, tigers, and prey. The forests that are located near the sea are also affected. As sea levels increase, the freshwater drinking sources for tigers is also polluted with salt water, leaving them to starve for good water. Deforestation accelerates climate change and this leads to critically endangered animals like to SUMATRAN TIGER to extinction.
Conservation: How we help animals affected by climate change, and how you can help
I have always believed in giving back. When I began to realize how much damage has been done to the animals and the planet due to climate change, I knew I had to do something. The direction led me to conservation groups and organizations.
As a fashion photographer, I pay the models. In wildlife, I can not pay the animals, so to give back, I’ve developed relationships with conservation organizations such as the Wolf Conservation Center, and World Animal Protection.
A percentage of the sale of these tiger prints is donated to these organizations. So when you buy photography from Ejaz Khan Earth, not only do you have an inspiring photo of some of nature’s finest creatures on your walls, but you will also be helping them.
