In Pursuit of Nature and Wildlife Photography

Arjun Haarith

Born in the garden city of Bangalore on December 16th, 1989, Arjun Haarith has deep inclination towards nature since his childhood days.

He used to accompany his uncle Mr. H Satish (who is a famous wildlife photographer) during the initial days of his career. Mr. Satish used to take him for bird watching and nature trips, which helped him to become a Nature and Wildlife lover. Due to his uncle’s companionship, he understood many things about wildlife and Nature conservation. Whenever he used to see the beautiful wildlife images of his uncle, he dreamt of being a wildlife photographer. Mr. Satish’s passion and dedication for nature and wildlife inspired Arjun to become a Nature/Wildlife photographer.

Back in 2007, he started to take this hobby seriously which then became his favorite passion. Arjun has traveled to many places in India till date. Now travelling the places has become his serious hobby. His father, who is a person with varied interests and hobbies, always inspires him in his endeavors.

Nature and Wildlife are Arjun’s main interest in photography, but he likes to photograph people and street as well.

Of late, he is trying his hand in Astronomical photography, Night sky and Time lapse. The results in this field are equally good.

He has done his engineering in the Information science discipline, at SJBIT, Bangalore and is currently working as a Software Engineer in Adobe.

Arjun is a recipient of various acclaimed photographic awards and many of his photographs have been exhibited in different salons across the India. Some of his pictures have been published in WWF calendar, Better photography magazine, BNHS greeting cards and many other travel guides and books.
