I am Ismail Shariff, a professional wildlife and nature photographer.
I have been taking pictures since 2005, when I was in Europe for my Masters in IT Project Management and Entrepreneurship at the Central European University, Budapest, Hungary. My Bachelor Degree was in Computer Science and Engineering.

My first birding/wildlife stint was with BSAP’s ICRISAT trip in January 2008, and my first tiger sighting was in Kanha in the same year, which eventually became one of the reasons for me to move back to India in pursuance of Wildlife Photography and Tourism here in India.
