About the Photographer

Sreekumar

Photography is not about capturing what exists — it’s about revealing what most eyes pass over. Every frame I make is a quiet argument that the world deserves a second look.

Based in Bengaluru, I have spent two decades photographing wildlife, nature, and the people of India — from the flamingo mudflats of Navi Mumbai to the forests of the Western Ghats, from monsoon streets to intimate portraits. The Living Lens is both a body of work and an invitation — to see the world more slowly, more deliberately, more honestly.

Since 2013, Sreekumar has conducted photography workshops and personalised learning programmes with photographers across India — covering creative photography, visual storytelling, light and technique, mobile and iPhone photography, and the development of a more conscious photographic practice.

His sessions go beyond camera settings. He encourages participants to slow down, observe more carefully, understand what draws their attention, and become more intentional about the images they make. His approach is shaped by a long-standing personal practice of meditation and spirituality — which influences how he thinks about attention, patience, and the decisive moment.

His workshops combine technical rigour with reflection and practical experimentation — helping participants not simply take better photographs, but develop a more individual way of seeing.

"Patience is key to creativity. Sree is one of the few photographers who has mastered the art of being a patient human being — he can extract the best out of any situation and capture it to present reality beautifully."
