Dr.Srinivasan Periathiruvadi

We are  happy to announce that our life member Dr. Srinivasan Periathiruvadi has consented to be a reviewer for Behance Portfolio review to be held on 31st Oct 2015

Dr. Srinivasan Periathiruvadi (“Srini” to friends) is a Physician and a self taught nature photographer. He started his journey in photography 50 years ago (!). After a sabbatical for over 20 years, he got back to serious nature photography in 2006. Like most nature photographers, Srini also started off with long lenses and tele-converters and full frame Nikon bodies.

In 2010, he had the urge to move away from the long lenses and started seeing the nature through wider lenses. In 2014, he decided to move on to Phase one (medium format) started documenting “Wildscapes”.

A regular visitor to Serengeti, he has explored the Indian wilderness and Himalayas extensively. He won his first recognition in 2007 when three of his images won prizes in a national competition including the first. One of his images found the way in to the “Daily Dozen” of National Geography in 2010.

He had his first solo exhibition in 2012 at Lalit Kala Akademi. Srini is also prints large format images of his creations using Epson printers.

His work can be seen at www.natureimages.in and his interesting interview on his philosophy of photography and life, which was shred over 6000 times on social media, can be read here: http://121clicks.com/interviews/impressive-interview-with-srinivasan-doctor-who-turned-out-to-be-an-amazing-wildlife-photographer
