About Sri. Yogish N N

Yogish is a Life Member of YPS and from Bengaluru. He has done his electronics engineering from RVCE. He started his career in digital circuits and switched over to software, early in his career. He is a software architect who has architected and designed many software products.

His photography journey started in the late 90s, with the purchase of a Nikon FM10 film SLR with a 70-210 mm lens, which both he and his brother would use. He photographed quite a lot with the FM10, including in Europe and the likes of Kabini etc.

In 2007, He moved to a digital SLR with the purchase of a Canon 400D and a 100-400mm  lens. Initial days of digital photography were mainly Wildlife. He was inspired heavily by India Nature Watch, which at that time, was a fantastic forum for wildlife enthusiasts. This journey took him to most sanctuaries in India and most family outings turned out to be in the Jungles.

He’s been part of YPS for almost a decade and through YPS, has had the honour of his image being selected for representing India in the FIAP Nature Biennial World cup, in which team India won the Gold medal.

Apart from wildlife, he takes pictures of family and kids and occasional travel images. He is currently exploring more genres in photography.

He will be mainly presenting pictures from his wildlife journey along with a few travel images.

About Sri. Harish N N

Harish, younger brother of Yogish is also a Life Member of YPS. He is an advocate by profession.

His photographic journey is similar to Yogish, starting with the FM10 in late 90s and moving on to his first DSLR in 2007 with the purchase of a Canon 40D.

He was introduced to nature in an early life by their father who would take them to wildlife and bird sanctuaries. In 2007, his father took the entire family to Kenya, which started a more serious wildlife journey. This interest in wildlife photography became a passion after joining India Nature Watch – a website portal for Indian nature. INW was his primary source of inspiration and learning. Birding and bird photography became his passion.

He won the Nikon-Better Photography Wildlife Photographer Award -2009 in the wildlife category and subsequently, was awarded the Nikon-Better Photography Photographer of the Year Award -2009.  Singapore Tourism Board, a co-sponsor of the event invited him to Singapore to click pictures which they used for their promotional advertisements.

He has been a member of YPS for almost a decade and through YPS he has had the honour of being a member of the Indian Team that won the Bronze Medal (Projected Images Section) in the 17th FIAP Nature Biennial World Cup – 2014.

Apart from photography, his hobbies include singing and playing musical instruments. The pictures he would present would include mainly of birds apart from a few wildlife and other images.  As the brothers have travelled together for many wildlife tours, they would try to avoid repetition of similar images though there may be images taken in similar situations.
