I am Vidyun R Hebbar, a 14-year-old photographer. I’m studying in 9th grade in Bangalore, India.
I love photography. I have been taking photographs since I was 3 years old. I have mostly learnt my skills from my father. Macro photography is my passion. I have also started experimenting with Street photography. But I also like to click all sorts of pictures from spiders to dry leaves 🙂
My father says, for photography, we need not go to a forest on a safari. We can find wildlife in metro cities too if we have an eye to see it. I usually click photos in the beautiful gardens of Bangalore (it is also known as the “Garden City of India”). We go to nearby parks to photograph spiders and insects. I also take photos in the forest-like areas near my grandfather’s place in Sringeri (in the western ghats of India)
I have won the Grand Title of Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2021. I have also won the Highly Commended award in the “10 years and under” category of Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2020 and 2021. Wildlife Photographer of the Year is one of the most prestigious photography contests. It is often known as the “Oscars of Wildlife Photography”. The Natural History Museum London, organizes this award. I have also won the Special Mention in Nature inFocus 2023. Three of my images have also been shortlisted in the Close-up Photographer of the Year 2024. I was also a finalist in the Changing Planet Category of MontPhoto 2024.
I also love building and flying FPV drones. I fly a custom-built FlyFishRC Volador VX3.5.
I like reading, I can read for long hours. My favorite books are the Tintin series , the books written by Rick Riordan and the Hardy Boys series.
