Official Photography Page of Shiva Kumar Photography. I am a professional wildlife photographer & Wikipedian from Hyderabad, India.

I aim to use innovation and technology to achieve fresh perspectives in my work. I am passionate about wildlife conservation. Through my work, I hope to inspire greater appreciation for the wildlife that shares our planet and encourages conservation action. I spent so much time being at one with nature, close to and watching, hidden from view on the off chance I would see a certain animal. This sk

ill is one of many I use within my own wildlife photography today derived from those early encounters with nature. This loses yourself to nature approach enables me to get close enough to capture the animal’s beauty and behaviour which both feature strongly in my style of photography, showing a wild animal within their natural habitat being the foundation to my work today through the images I see then frame through my camera’s viewfinder. Where my creative and emotional attachment to nature is at the very heart of each image, creating a unique and artistic reflection of my time in the field. It is my intention to use these reflections of the natural world to bring people’s awareness of what beautiful wildlife we have on our doorstep and all around us and the importance of conservation and the need to preserve our national heritage. My images represent an event that occurred in the wild something that I witnessed and recorded with my camera. My skill lies in interpreting and presenting this in a way that invokes beauty, mood and emotion with each moment captured. My representation of this world is my interest for creating a unique and artistic reflection of what I see and my images are simplified visions of this seen through my eyes, lighting and colour at the very heart of each picture, capturing their beauty, fascination and graceful expression with each image.

The Dark-fronted Babbler (Rhopocichla atriceps) is a small bird native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. This species has a plump body, a short tail, and a distinct dark, glossy black patch on its head, from which it gets its name. The rest of its body is predominantly a warm brown, with slightly darker shades on its wings and back.

The babbler's stout beak is perfectly suited for its omnivorous diet, which consists mainly of insects, larvae, and occasionally small fruits and seeds. Its large, round eyes, encircled by a white eye-ring, provide excellent vision for foraging. It tends to forage on the forest floor, using its strong beak to search through leaf litter for food.

Known for its social nature, the Dark-fronted Babbler forms small groups and often forages together. Its striking facial markings, with white feathers on the sides of its face contrasting with its dark front, give it a charming, expressive appearance.

The bird inhabits dense forests, bamboo thickets, and secondary growth areas across countries like Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. This non-migratory species thrives in lowland and mid-elevation regions year-round.
