Nikhil Bahl is a professional nature photographer, educator, author, lecturer and workshop instructor. He currently
resides in Montgomery Village, Maryland (U.S.A.). His goal is to inspire people to appreciate the
splendor of nature by becoming aware of that which is easily overlooked, and by transforming the
mundane into the exciting through contemplative and artistic interpretation. While his primary aim
is to create art with his photographs, he also strives to document the natural world with an eye
toward conservation and education. This has led him to volunteer his time and photography skills
with the National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Nikhil's work has been published in a number of print and electronic media. His fine art prints have
been widely exhibited in the Washington metropolitan area, and are part of many private
collections. Nikhil leads several nature photography workshops and tours, primarily along the East
coast of the United States. He also teaches photography at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia and through Digital Photo Academy. His instruction is focused on in-camera interpretation and developing
personal vision, rather than simply following the traditional rules of photography.
His current photo gear includes the Nikon D3s and D300s camera bodies and a variety of lenses (see below). To view Nikhil's work, please visit the portfolios section. You can also follow his blog or facebook page.
