Biography

Sudhir Shivaram grew up in Karnataka and became interested in wildlife photography in 1993 whilst studying engineering in Malnad College of Engineering in Hassan, Karnataka.[1] After graduation, he worked for Hewlett-Packard as an engineer and later at APC. Currently, he is a full-time photography teacher, conducting Wildlife Photography Tours and Workshops. He was named Sanctuary Asia's "Wildlife Photographer of the Year" for the year 2012.[1][5]

His pictures are noteworthy for their technically sophisticated and evocative character, generating appropriate moods to move viewers. He campaigns for wildlife protection around the world and gives freely his time and images to raise awareness for nature and wildlife. He also talks about his work and the state of wildlife to young people across the world, hoping to inspire and win their commitment to this cause.

Sudhir Shivaram was one of the brand ambassadors of Canon. He is also the founding member of the non-profit photo sharing site India Nature Watch.[6][7]
