CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – Bhasmang Mehta is expanding his travel operation services to the United States.
The wildlife photographer and founder of Wildlife Sojourns is now operating wildlife safari excursions in India for clients across the US from their office in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the United States. As he builds his own portfolio, Wildlife Sojourns allows Bhasmang opportunities to share moments preserved on film and in photographs live and in person with clients. Bhasmang’s industry connections, keen eye, and almost two decades of experience prove instrumental in providing clients, both through photography and travel operation, a chance to witness some of nature’s most magical moments.
Bhasmang Mehta’s Story
Born in India to a family of doctors and industrialists, Bhasmang ended up joining his family business in Pharmaceuticals. In 2003, after a visit to Gir National Park, Bhasmang realized his love of photography and decided to go down the less traveled path to pursue wildlife photography as a career.
An avid photographer from a very young age, he has been on countless wildlife expeditions, capturing the wild side of nature on his camera. In 2017, he decided to share his experience of wildlife safaris with the rest of the world, and Wildlife Sojourns was born. A resident of North Carolina now, with strong ties to his friends and family back home, his wildlife photos have been published in prestigious magazines such as Lonely Planet and Frontline. He has also contributed several works to the renowned Bombay Natural History Society. He regularly holds workshops on wildlife photography for enthusiasts, to teach them the nuances of the field.
Experience Capturing Wildlife in its Natural Habitat
After almost two decades of capturing wildlife photography in India, Bhasmang Mehta has a wealth of experience and established connections with some of the best forest guides in the country. With a combination of great resources, knowledge, and experience, Bhasmang captures beautiful shots of such species as the Asiatic Lion, the endangered Barisingha, and the endangered Siberian Crane. Bhasmang combines this innate knowledge of these species, their natural habitats, habits, and behaviors with his skill behind the camera to amazing results. Capturing the Bengal Tiger and Indian Leopard with excellent precision, his photography services include an impressive level of detail.
Bhasmang is always searching for his next potential subject. Naturally, moving professionally to the United States sparked new curiosity upon discovering the wildlife living near his home in Charlotte, North Carolina. “It’s been a joy ride to explore and photograph wildlife of USA as it is pretty much entirely different from the Indian subcontinent,” Bhasmang says, “Totally new species of birds and mammals.”
Capturing high-resolution images of the American Black Bear, the Snow Goose, and the Hooded Merganser, Bhasmang shows universal talent in showing not only great skill in wildlife photography, but intuition. Showing attention to detail that is unmatched, Bhasmang perfectly captures a profile as well as the sense of intention in the subject’s movements.

Workshops to Help Travelers Preserve Memories
Bhasmang Mehta’s photography workshops, offered by and scheduled through Wildlife Sojourns, have the primary goal to prepare both photography beginners and experts who are hoping to sharpen their skills and ensure they capture the best photos while on a safari. Proper technique, advice on equipment, and overall training allow Bhasmang Mehta to break the skill of photography down to clients and dispel beliefs that one needs to be a 15+ year photography veteran to capture good photos.
As well as offering these services from Wildlife Sojourn’s offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bhasmang plans to expand his workshops to reserves and national parks around the country, helping tourists and wannabe photographers to find their talent in capturing wildlife in its most gorgeous moments. As Wildlife Sojourns expands, Bhasmang is excited to share these moments and the skills to capture them with his clients.
