Adithya Biloor

I was born and raised in a small village in the heart of western ghats, India. I am not sure when my interest in nature grew inside me. Even though I was close to nature I was not very fond of nature, or at least I thought so. But somewhere in the middle I hooked onto nature photography.

I am a nomad at heart, Doing the same thing for longer periods is not my cup of tea. I studied science, then commerce in college. Later joined a theatre school. Trainings in the theatre school have had a tremendous influence on me. I try to bring those lessons in my photography. Presenting nature in creative and artistic way is my main area of interest.

Currently I am living in a small place near to my native as an agriculturist.

Prashanth Sampagar

"Born & brought up in Western Ghats of Karnataka. Worked as a software engineer for almost a decade, now quit my job to become a full time farmer. I'm an avid traveller and l was bitten by photography bug a decade ago. Initial years of my photography journey was spent in species hunt & was more in line with natural history point of view. Some of the works of CNPians brought me to this forum. From then on my photography journey took a different path. CNP school of thoughts has helped me to understand the art of photography. Exploring Creative & artistic aspect of photography is my focus at the moment.

A proud student of CNP!

Raviprakash SS

Love for nature and the eye for its beauty runs in my blood as I was born and brought up in Hosahalli, a tiny village in Malnad (Western Ghats, Karnataka). My parents not only encouraged studies, but also recognised a budding photographer in me. They bought me a camera when I was in high school. My journey started with clicking every family event and trips, graduated to nature and then to Macro photography. As I went closer and closer to my to subjects, I was mermerised with the subtle beauty. "Like minded people, who think differently!!” was the thought that came into my mind when I came across CNP and I knew that my journey with CNP with an adventurous ride.

With support from spouse, friends, this journey has transformed into a good human being and I am hoping to achieve new heights.

Sarthak Agrawal

Sarthak in his own words -

"Most of my childhood was spent staring at the mountains through my classroom window, watching baya weavers build a colony beside the lunch hall in my school and making matchbox houses for insects. Not much has changed now except for adding a few more things to the list. Initially I received a pair of binoculars as a gift and photography came along naturally. What started as a weekend hobby has now become a way of living. I love spending time with my subjects and playing around with light, colours and textures. I came across CNP during lockdown and I knew this is the place where I belong."
