The art of capturing subtle realities is something Jivitesh Singh is endowed with. The youngest wildlife photographer in India, he is merely 14 years old and already has massive plans. Born in Delhi, he was supplemented by his father to pursue his dream of becoming a wildfire photographer. Being a wildlife photographer himself, Jivitesh’s father has also followed the same passion for the last 25 years.
Venturing to become a photographer, Jivitesh’s talent was observed when he was only 4 years old. His clicks of birds, nature around him use to be extremely profound captures, reflecting his admiration towards the environment. His family nurtured this passion and harnessed his talent by taking him to wetlands and forests. Although difficult, but Jivitesh withstood the test of location (which was certainly not apt for such a young child). This was all because he was not just passionate about his work, but also extremely diligent to get the right capture. His mind was meticulous in perceiving what is right and the rest was guided by his father. All this hard work has been registered in the India Book of Records.
Jivitesh Singh has been an active student and has won numerous photography competitions. He participated in various exhibitions including National Art Exhibition, Group Art Exhibition and has won a Gold Medal in the same. His work is displayed at the NIA Headquarter (Ministry of Home Affairs), New Delhi. It was a proud moment when Jivitesh donated all those pictures to NIA is a token of his respect for the soldiers of our country. This gesture earned him a Certificate of Appreciation from the DG, NIA (Ministry of Home Affairs), New Delhi.
