Ajith’s early exposure to the abundant wildlife of Kerala fostered in him a lifelong love of the outdoors, which influenced his decision to become a wildlife photographer. When he moved to Dubai, his interest in photography rekindled a boyhood obsession with nature and quickly became a significant part of his life.
A buddy had given me a DSLR camera, but he hadn’t used it until he happened upon a wildlife photography video on YouTube. The experience awoke a dormant interest in photography within him, and he went on a fervent learning binge to perfect his craft.
As the adage goes, “photography is a game of disappointment,” and Ajith’s journey certainly had its share of setbacks. But his passion for animals kept him going, and each failure only made him more determined and improved his abilities.
