Welcome to our eleventh episode! This time, we explore the intersection of photography and nature tourism, and what it means to tell meaningful stories about the ocean.

We speak with Kaushiik Subramaniam, a wildlife conservation biologist and award-winning photographer whose work brings science to life through storytelling. Having worked with conservation organisations and global media platforms, including the BBC, Kaush shares his journey across the Indian Ocean and beyond, and reflects on how photography can move beyond aesthetics to create connection and impact.

We also unpack what makes nature tourism truly responsible, exploring common pitfalls, the role of local communities, and what the future of reef tourism could look like.
