With a background in sciences and a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Aditya followed this up by joining the Indian Civil Service and worked there till finally deciding that his interest and calling lay in working with wildlife. He has been living in Ranthambhore since early 1998, working continously on various wildlife documentaries, photography and conservation projects.
He took to serious photography over a decade ago and has one of the largest, if not the largest, collection of pictures from Ranthambhore. Since moving to Ranthambhore, he had already gone on over 6000 safaris to the Ranthambhore national park, when he stopped counting. As a photographer, he probably knows Ranthambhore better than any other person. He is a regular visitor to many wilderness areas in the Indian subcontinent and eastern Africa. Some of his work can be seen at www.ranthambhore.net and on his blog www.dickysingh.com
Over the years he has worked as a Field Assistant / Line Producer for over a dozen wildlife documentaries for BBC Wildlife Division, National Geographic Film and Television, NHK Japan, Tokyo Broadcasting Service, Irish Television and many independent productions. He has also assisted some of the best names in wildlife still photography in the world.
He is the recipient of the prestigious Carl Zeiss Award for Conservation (2012) and Sanctuary Wildlife Photographer of the Year (2011).
