Eiders on Ice

Svalbard is unique in terms of its landscape and I wanted to capture an environment-habitat shot wide enough encompassing Ice, mountains and sky with a flock of flying Eiders. Couldn't have asked for a better chunk of sea ice!

About Artist

Malini Chandrasekar

Born in Madras, lived in Bombay, Hong Kong, Singapore, Wellington and call London home (for now). I was 12 years old when I got my first camera but only recently focussed primarily on wildlife. I love photographing wildlife because I find sharing these images can increase conversations for conservation. I also love the unpredictability nature and wildlife have to offer, which in turn inspires me to seek out the 'different'. As i'm a Graphic Designer, I enjoy marrying the two disciplines together creating approaches to wildlife photography otherwise not as common. A very clean and minimal approach suits but at times I also love the need for the opulence nature has to offer and like to reflect that in my photography style. I am perpetually learning so find nature and wildlife photography with all its everchanging elements a great way to hone in on this craft. Photography makes me very happy!
