ABOUT ME

My journey as a wildlife photographer

I’m Viv Sharma, a 16-year-old wildlife photographer and conservationist based in Mumbai, India. My journey into the wild didn't start with a camera, but with curiosity. From the dense Sal forests of Bandhavgarh to the open savannahs of Africa, I have spent my formative years tracking the world’s most elusive predators.

What began as a childhood fascination has evolved into a dedicated mission. I don't just look for the "perfect shot"—I look for the story. Whether it’s a tigress teaching her cubs to hunt or the vibrant plumage of an endemic bird, my goal is to capture the raw, unscripted behaviors of nature.

Through my lens, I strive to bridge the gap between the wild and the urban world. I believe that to protect our biodiversity, we must first understand it. My work is an invitation to witness the beauty we stand to lose and a call to action to preserve it.
