Dr Kumar B.G is an Indian medical doctor who combines a career in anaesthesiology with a visible passion for nature and travel photography. Trained at the

Early life and background

Dr Kumar B.G is an Indian physician who completed his MBBS and MD in Anaesthesiology at Government Madras Medical College, Chennai. As of 2022 he is 30 years old. Music and the visual arts figured early in his life; during college he played guitar in a band called Lucid Interval and participated in competitions with the group.

Career

Kumar trained as a medical doctor and specialised in anaesthesiology. His postgraduate years were marked by several academic accomplishments: he cleared the EDRA (European Diploma in Regional Anaesthesia), won multiple academic quizzes, and placed among the top five in an academic research presentation held in New York.

Alongside clinical work, Kumar is active as a nature and travel photographer. He balances hospital duties with photography, using time off to travel and shoot. His photographic interests include drone work, landscapes, long-exposure techniques and night-sky imaging, often using a compact Sony mirrorless system for portability and a wide-angle prime for astrophotography.

Public profile

Kumar’s photography developed from an early encounter with his father’s SLR camera and a memorable sighting of an unusual butterfly. Travel expanded his visual vocabulary; destinations he has visited include Egypt, the United States, Kenya, Bali, Dubai, Thailand, Greece and the Maldives. He cites aerial top-down compositions from a drone and wide vistas captured at night among his favourite ways to frame a scene.

He has shared his images and travel stories on public platforms and in travel communities. Some of his work has appeared on Tripoto and Lonely Planet pages. After winning a travel photography competition, he collaborated with TripAdvisor on a campaign. He also had a small Instagram collaboration with Sony BBC Earth and won third prize in a photography contest run by his medical fraternity for a photograph of two elephants taken in Kenya.

Kumar mixes his medical knowledge with his travel experiences; during overseas excursions he has rendered medical assistance to fellow travellers, treating altitude sickness in Ladakh and improvising first aid for a hiker with a fractured leg in Nusa Penida, Bali. These episodes reinforced for him the value of medical training while travelling.

Philanthropy and initiatives

While in college he organised philanthropic efforts, including raising around 100,000 rupees through work with the Save a Child foundation to support a child’s surgery. He has announced plans to launch a #plantatree campaign with an initial goal of planting 1,000 trees and using his social platforms to build the initiative.

Personal approach and interests

Kumar describes the challenge of balancing a demanding medical career with an active travel and photography practice as both difficult and rewarding. He aims to convey the feeling of being present in extraordinary locations not only through images but also through written impressions that communicate what it feels like to stand before those landscapes.

Latest updates

Despite a heavier workload during the COVID-19 pandemic and a personal bout with the illness while working in a hospital, Kumar returned to travel and photography and continued producing work. He continues to experiment with long-exposure techniques and aerial perspectives, and remains committed to combining his medical career with travel and conservation-minded projects.
