My name is Nidhin G Poothully… Illustrator and designer. I live in Bangalore, India, where I pursue photography as my hobby that runs parallel to my real job of graphic / web design. I’m currently Tech Lead in an MNC and if by some oddity of fate I have time after that, I click. I’m a professional Photographer. That is to say, I create what I enjoy and many enjoy what I create.
Photography for me is more than just a hobby.
I was bitten by the shutterbug in my early teens. Right from my schooldays when all my friends were busy playing sports or other games, I spent my free time trying to understand nature and wildlife. I learned much from magazines and from watching TV – I owe a lot to those lovely television channels that carry natural history and wildlife programs.
I am really fascinated by the checks and balances in the wild: how animals maintain a life of balance and discipline without authoritative policing! I’ve been going to wildlife sanctuaries with close friends and each time I take a trip, I learn a tremendous amount. Every visit to the wilderness is an opportunity to bring back something new that I have discovered. Learning is not always in books and classrooms – often the best lessons are out there waiting to be absorbed.
Am very happy that I am able to portray the beauty of the wilderness and nature through my pictures. I am hoping this will create awareness and help people understand how much beauty there is out there. And we all have a responsibility to preserve and conserve this beauty so that we can enjoy it for years to come.
