Hello and hope you are having a good day!! If not, we would like to tell you that everything passes eventually and you will get through it! ^_^ You are stronger than you think you are. We learn this every single day from all the life forms we are grateful to encounter in our travels. Insects so small we mostly ignore their existence, birds smaller than the size of our fists and flying the length of the world, animals so big we wonder how they navigate through life. Every single life form offers immense learning and insights into how resilient life in general is, and that includes us, humans.

We are Divya and Shankar, a husband wife duo who love to travel, particularly to places that are home to wildlife. Nothing makes us happier than knowing that we have a trip ahead of us which will allow us to catch a glimpse of the truly wild and their lives, if they allow us. We are not professional wildlife photographers - This is something we enjoy doing immensely and I for one, attempt to improve my craft every time I pick up my camera, so we are dedicated to this and are happy to share our learnings, experiences and photography, and also learn from the rest of the world.

While we both were born and bought up in India, we presently live and work in San Francisco. Shankar likes to record videos and I prefer still photography.

I have always been creative as a child, finding joy in the colors of my old battered watercolor box. An introvert and a recluse who prefers the natural world to the four walls we tend to box ourselves in, I like the comfort I get in swirling colors on paper and photography.

My journey as a serious photographer started when I felt the incompleteness in my travels due to my inability to capture and share stories with my family. While it started as an interest to journal our travel, it is evolving into something more personally. Along with the opportunity to share my experiences with my family back home, I also wanted to share them with like minded individuals and those who simply enjoy colors and derive comfort from the natural world.

It was and is still a learning everyday I take the camera in my hand and look through the viewfinder. I never fail to be amazed at what I get to see through it and am always grateful for the opportunity. What I see through the viewfinder is not just an image to me. It influences me in ways I cannot communicate even if I tried to. What I capture, draw, make and believe is shaped everyday by what I get to experience in the wild. It is a search yes, search for those parts of the world, search for the things I do, that I feel most at home in. You get one life, if you can find the things that bring you joy, you should keep doing it. I think I just might have found what brings me joy and I would like to keep doing it as long as I possibly can.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this if you managed to keep at it till here :) I do hope the best for you and your loved ones. Go outside and try something new! You never know what or who you will find that might capture you heart and soul and change your life forever ^_~

Stay Wonderstruck!

Divya & Shankar
