Sudhir Shivaram: India's leopards and tigers
Sudhir Shivaram is an Indian wildlife photographer sharing leopards, tigers, elephants and birds from India's reserves. Captions are minimal and the images carry it.
What it is
Sudhir Shivaram is a wildlife photographer from India. His bio describes him as a Wildlife Photographer of the Year jury member and a Sony Alpha ambassador. The account has more than 900,000 followers and nearly three thousand posts, and most captions are just a line or two.
Why we picked it
The feed brings Indian wildlife close in a way you rarely see: leopards, tigers, elephants and birds. In September 2026 he posted a leopard series with a caption about why these cats have always fascinated him: beautiful, secretive and so good at camouflage that they vanish into the foliage in seconds. Around it are posts captioned simply 'Life in the jungle' or 'The sound of nature', where the footage does the talking.
We like that this is wild India rather than tourist India. It's a welcome counterweight to the usual African safari content: different animals, different light, different forests.
Where to start
- Find the September leopard post, where he explains what draws him to these cats.
- Watch the 'Life in the jungle' and 'The sound of nature' clips with the sound on.
- Check the highlights for photo tips if you shoot wildlife yourself.
- Note the reserve names in captions if you're planning a trip.
Who it's for
Big cat and wildlife lovers, photographers who learn by looking at strong work, and travelers dreaming of a safari in India.
