Capturing the Guardians

In the dense heartlands of Bastar, Chhattisgarh, where every step carries a story of grit and determination, our team was entrusted with a rare and humbling responsibility — to visually document Operation KGH for an upcoming coffee table book.This project took us deep into the operational zones of the STF, DRG, and COBRA forces, capturing not just images, but the raw essence of courage, discipline, and brotherhood that defines these units. From the sound of chopper blades slicing through the forest canopy to the tense silence before a mission, every frame we shot carries the weight of real stories lived on the ground.Unlike staged campaigns, this was ground zero — the terrain was real, the people were real, and the emotions were unfiltered. Our lens followed moments of preparation, coordination, and the unwavering spirit of the men and women who stand at the frontline for our safety.This behind-the-scenes glimpse is more than photography; it’s a visual tribute to the heroes whose names may never make headlines, but whose dedication shapes the very fabric of national security.
