Hi, I am Sudhir Shivaram, a renowned wildlife photographer and photography mentor from India.

I have figured in the Asian Photography Magazine's Top Ten Most Influential People in photography industry in India for five consecutive years since 2015. At the 2018 awards, I was awarded the top honour as India's 'First' Most Influential from among a chosen group that comprised top officials of global multinationals.

At 2013’s worldwide editorial awards held at the National Geographic Society in Washington D.C., National Geographic Traveller India’s September 2013 cover featuring my image won the National Geographic Yellow Border Award for the best cover across 14 language editions of the magazine worldwide.

I have been associated with multiple globally renowned brands like Canon, Tamron, Samsung, Huawei, Profoto, Sony, Nikon, Jaguar Land Rover, Vivo, National Geographic Traveler. I have associated with brands at different levels right from product endorsements to promotion of social / environmental issues like wildlife conservation and habitat protection. I have been a Sony India brand ambassador since 2019. Earlier, I was one of the brand ambassadors for Canon India. I received the Sanctuary Asia Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2012 award.

I have been a key influencer in the photography space in India, sharing my knowledge on multiple platforms. I was a guest speaker at Adobe MAKE IT, an annual global event held at Sydney, Australia and spoke about how technology aids Wildlife photography. The event boasted some of the biggest international names in the design and creative imaging industry, and I was one of two Indians invited to participate as a speaker. I have been a guest speaker for numerous educational institutes, corporations, government departments across India. I love addressing audiences of all ages and occupations and talk about my passion and my journey thus far.

All credentials aside, the thing I love the most is to shoot in the wild and teach others how to shoot. I launched my video-based online photography courses in a subscription-based model - the first of its kind in India. These tutorials have been received enthusiastically by thousands of subscribers since its launch in 2015.

I love engaging with other photography enthusiasts globally through various social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. I started photography-related Facebook chats and Insta lives that have gone on to become hugely popular. In the last year, more than 4 million people over the world have viewed these various live video broadcasts, including the ones from various National Parks from around India and Kenya/Tanzania. I was the first person in the world to do a live Facebook broadcast of the great migration from the Masai Mara in 2015. I have also developed and uploaded a rich variety of content on learning photography on my YouTube channel.

Through my company, Sudhir Shivaram Photography Private Limited, I conduct photography learning tours to various wildlife destinations across India and Africa with plans to cover more international destinations in the coming seasons.
