A Little Something...

My name is Aashiv, an architect and professional photographer in Nairobi, Kenya.

As a wildlife and nature photographer, I am constantly enthralled by the beauty and wonder of the natural world. With my camera in hand, I am driven to capture the intricate details, vibrant colors, and raw emotions of the animal kingdom and the stunning landscapes that surround us. With a keen eye for composition and a patient spirit, I immerse myself in the wild, seeking those fleeting moments that tell stories of survival, grace, and the delicate balance of life. Through my lens, I aim to ignite a sense of awe and appreciation for the unparalleled beauty and diversity that exists within our planet, inspiring others to protect and preserve these precious natural resources for generations to come.

As a photography teacher, I am passionate about capturing moments that tell compelling stories. With years of experience as a professional photographer, I bring both technical expertise and creative vision to my role. I believe in fostering a supportive and nurturing environment in my classroom, encouraging students to explore their own unique style and perspective. Through interactive lessons, hands-on assignments, and constructive feedback, I strive to equip my students with the essential skills and knowledge they need to excel in the world of photography. I am committed to inspiring and empowering my students to push the boundaries of their creativity and unlock their full potential as visual storytellers. Together, we embark on a journey of discovery, where every click of the camera becomes an opportunity to capture the beauty of the world and share it with others.

As part of my photographic journey, I am also an advisory board member of an exciting organisation called the Sacred Nature Initiative. Founded by the Big Cat People, it consists of a group of extraordinary individuals with unique talents that share a common goal: to make a positive and long term impact in conservation through their expertise.
