My name’s Aditya, but you can just call me Adi for simplicity’s sake I'm a nature and wildlife photographer specializing in birds. I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D7100, in the summer of 2013 and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’m currently based in Bahrain, a small island in the Middle East, and aim to document the local and migrant bird species in their natural habitat.
In fact, my love for bird photography started when one day, as I was on one of my usual morning walks, a Marsh Harrier flew overhead – so close that I could feel the wind off its wings – in hot pursuit of prey. The panicked alarm calls of the Mynas, the frenzied flight of the doves, and the sheer power and confidence of the raptor left me captivated. Similarly, a trip to the local beach gave me the first taste of Bahrain’s most well-known shorebirds – Flamingos and Cormorants. The rest is history…
Other than my obsession with birds, I am an Affiliate of the Associate of Chartered Certified Accountants-UK (ACCA-UK). I also have a BSc. (Hons.) Degree in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University.
To me, bird photography is a getaway from the stress of everyday life. To watch these beautiful creatures in their habitat is a thrill that absolutely nothing can come close to fulfilling. In return, I hope to raise awareness and inspire others to help conserve what we are blessed to have today.
I'm most active on Instagram (aditya.sridhar), where I upload my latest photographs and Behind-The-Scenes videos. I hope to see you there!
