About Me

A Journey of Photography and Passion

I'm Saptagirish Oleti, a wildlife photographer based in Bangalore, India, with a deep passion for capturing the exquisite beauty and grace of birds in their natural habitats.

My journey into photography spans over a decade, initially starting as a simple hobby. It all began with a desire to cherish and document precious moments with my children. However, my fascination with photography took an unexpected turn when I stumbled upon breathtaking wildlife imagery online. This discovery ignited a new sense of exploration and curiosity within me, driving me to venture into the world of wildlife photography.

As I delved deeper into this enchanting realm, my passion grew stronger, fueled by my profound love for nature. Over the years, I've had the privilege of capturing mesmerizing images of the wildlife around me and sharing my unique perspective with the world.

With more than 200 species of birds gracing my portfolio, I've become a dedicated aficionado of bird photography. By profession, I'm a technology leader working for an American bank, but photography transcends the boundaries of a mere hobby for me. It's a burning passion that has led me on countless adventures, allowing me to explore some of the most remote and breathtaking corners of our planet. Whether I'm stealthily traversing dense forests or patiently waiting in a blind, my relentless pursuit is always aimed at capturing that perfect shot that encapsulates the true essence of the animal I'm photographing.

Combining technical expertise with an artistic vision, I strive to create evocative and stunning images that transport viewers straight to the heart of the wilderness. Join me on this incredible journey as I share the world through my lens and celebrate the astounding beauty of our planet's wildlife.
