HONORARY DISTINCTION
Hon.CPE

Gautam Chakraborty

Country: India

An engineer by education, an IT Management Leader by profession and a photographer by passion - that summarises me. I, Gautam Chakraborty, am more an explorer of nature and wildlife where photography is a means to me to capture those precious moments of natural history.

I am fortunate to be brought up in such a way that travel had become my hobby since childhood. The journey was going well and I was happy with the memories that I was capturing with my point and shoot camera till I met my first tiger in wild at a game drive on 2015. My point and shoot camera could not handle the low light conditions and the image came too noisy. I realised it is time to change my gears. I moved into the world of DSLR with Nikon and since then, the journey of learning photography continues. The learning is mostly on the field (excluding few theoretical basics) and iterative. Discussions with a few like minded people (including a few experts) have helped me a lot to improve my skills. I am more into Nature & Wildlife and Travel Photography where tiger is my favourite subject.

I have started participating in exhibitions since Oct 2020 and achieved over 3000+ exhibition acceptances (till date) from over 40+ countries with many awards. I can be connected at Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gowildgc/
