MITAL PATEL PHOTOGRAPHY

IT’S clear from looking at Mital Patel’s photography that he has an incredible eye and a unique sense of perspective. Patel captures his subjects in a way that leaves the viewer staring in awe at this moment—this one incredible moment—that he has forever immortalized through the lens of his camera. That is the mark of a true artist, and Patel’s talent is undeniable, from his nature photography to his fine architecture and abstract photographs.

Over the course of his career, Patel has created a name for himself as an intrepid photographer, traveling the globe to capture the incredible— and often majestic—shots that he takes. “I enjoy capturing the beauty of this world, and photography is my way to showcase it in a form of fine art,” says Patel, who only embarked on the journey of becoming a professional photographer 10 years ago.

As someone who has been creative for as long as he can remember, Patel has always been drawn to art, but photography speaks to him in a way that no other art form ever has. “I was 12 at the time I had my first camera,” says the self-taught photographer. “In the early days, my camera was always capturing and documenting family moments. Over time, my travels and learning of Ansel Adams led me down a path to landscape photography. After my first visit to Africa, I became hooked on wildlife photography. I like to see things a little different, and I work to portray that in my art.”
