Srinivas Kandukuri

I am Srinivas Kandukuree from Hyderabad, driven by a deep love for capturing details that tell a story beyond what we see. My photography journey began in childhood with a simple Kodak camera, where curiosity first met creativity. Those early days of capturing everyday moments slowly shaped my eye for detail and composition. As my interest grew, I moved on to a Canon point-and-shoot, which gave me more control and confidence to explore photography seriously.

The real turning point came with the Canon 60D DSLR. I spent a significant amount of time focusing on portraits, learning how to work with light, expressions, and framing. Portrait photography helped me understand storytelling through a subject’s emotions and subtle details.

Over time, my passion expanded into wildlife photography. I transitioned to the Nikon D500 paired with a 200–500mm lens, which opened up a completely new world. Capturing birds and animals in their natural habitat taught me patience, timing, and precision.

Currently, I use the Nikon Z8 with a 500mm PF lens. My primary interest lies in bird portraits, where I strive to capture intricate details—feathers, expressions, and moments often missed by the naked eye. I also enjoy macro photography, exploring the tiny wonders of nature
