Dr. Srinivasan Periathiruvadi (“Srini” to friends) is a Physician and a self taught nature photographer. He started his journey in photography when he was 11 years old(!). After a sabbatical for over 20 years, he got back to serious nature photography in 2006. Like most nature photographers, Srini also started off with long lenses and tele-converters and full frame bodies. In 2010, he had the urge to move away from the long lenses and started seeing the nature through wider lenses and started documenting “Wildscapes”. He has explored the Indian and African wilderness, The Himalaya, Arctic and Antarctic. Nature is just not about going to places and shooting but is the very essence of his life. He won his first recognition in 2007 when three of his images won prizes in a national competition. One of his images found the way in to the “Daily Dozen” of National Geography in 2010.

Srini prints the images of his creations using large format Epson printers, thus controls from visualisation to prints.

He had his first (Wildlife in India and Africa) solo exhibition in 2012 (Lalit Kala Akademi), second (Wildscapes) in 2016 (Amethyst) and the third(Himalayan Moments) in 2023 (Ashvita art Gallery). All three were well received by the photographic community and public. Srini donates all his creations to Chennai based Jeevan Stem Cell Foundation which is enabling quick and affordable or free access to matching stem cells from donated cord blood and bone marrow donors to Indian children with blood cancers and Thalassemia.

Do get in touch with him, if you have any questions or want to purchase signed prints on archival quality papers.
