Hi, I'm Yoshan Karunaratne from Kandy Sri Lanka

I am a freelance wildlife photographer with a deep passion for capturing the raw beauty of the natural world. My work is driven by curiosity, patience, and respect for the wild spaces and creatures I encounter. From fleeting bird flights to the quiet intensity of predators in their natural habitats, I strive to tell stories through my lens that inspire wonder, awareness, and conservation. Photography for me is more than just creating images—it’s about forging a connection between people and nature. Every photograph is an opportunity to show the world unseen details, hidden behaviors, and unique perspectives that remind us of our shared responsibility to protect wildlife. As a freelancer, I enjoy the freedom to explore diverse landscapes, work on independent projects, and collaborate with organizations, publications, and individuals who share the same vision of preserving biodiversity. My portfolio ranges from intimate close-ups to sweeping landscapes, each frame designed to reflect both the fragility and resilience of the natural world. Whether I’m trekking through forests, waiting for hours in silence, or chasing light across vast horizons, my goal is always the same: to capture authentic, powerful moments that leave a lasting impact.
