I’m Subhramani, a product manager by day, and by every other available hour, a wildlife photographer, motorcycle rider, and drummer based in Bangalore.
My obsession with wildlife started with a BBC documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough called ‘The Life of Birds’. Something clicked watching it, the realisation that every living creature, regardless of size or shape, has an intelligence and a story worth paying attention to. I started with birds. Photographing them, learning to identify them, understanding a little of how they live.
That curiosity led to jungle safaris and forests across the country, Bandipur and Kabini in Karnataka, Tadoba in Maharashtra, Ranthambore in Rajasthan, Sattal and Jim Corbett in Uttarakhand.
More recently I’ve turned to macro, snakes, frogs, spiders, and the smaller critters that most people walk past without a second glance. They are wild and small, and endlessly interesting once you stop to look.
The Western Ghats pull me back whenever life allows. For the pitvipers in the rain, the frogs after dark, or sometimes just a motorcycle ride through the mist with no particular agenda.
I also shoot concerts. Mostly metal. It’s a different kind of wild.
