-Profile-

Passionate for Wildlife Photography
Ashok Sikri

Born (February, 1977) and brought up in a small town of Punjab, Ashok Sikri shifted to Rishikesh later and did his higher studies in commerce from a college there. He is a businessman by profession. In 2018 he decided to buy a DSLR camera just to click quality family pictures and capture precious moments of life. He had no clue about any technical aspects of photography as they seemed very heavy for him. Gradually he got inclined towards photography seriously and decided to join a local photography club to get a knack for photography.

He started going on weekly photo walks with his club members. One of his photo walks was at Raja Ji Tiger Reserve with his fellow photographers. It was an amazing experience and after the walk he realised how vivid the wildlife is and It's just not visually epic but also teaches a lot of lessons to nature lovers. Since then, he started his journey of capturing the wildlife. Ashok Sikri is a nature lover and is on a path to capture it. His works have been published in multiple reputed magazines like Chillz and have also been featured by Nat Geo, BBC and Nikon.

Ashok is a hard working photographer who believes in perfection. His pictures are perfect examples of wildlife photography due to their subject material, composition and dramatic effect of light.
