I'm Aditya, a wildlife photographer based in Bahrain. Birds often form the foundation of my work, but I'm just as interested in documenting their surroundings and the various landscapes that they inhabit.
I first picked up a DSLR - a trusty old Nikon D7100 - in early 2013, but the moment that truly sparked my fascination with birds came during an early-morning walk when a Marsh Harrier swept low 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…
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!
