Final Frame Photographer: Sreekanth Arayankavu [Ernakulam, India]

Tourkoot / Nov-Dec 2011

Sreekanth Arayankavu started his basic lessons in photography with a Nikon FM 10 at his childhood itself. His experiments to know more about the world of colours and shades are still in progress. He is committed to capture the fresh moments of human expressions, rich heritage, culture, flora and fauna. He believes that there is a hidden frame in everywhere every moment. Sreekanth is active in Flickr and facebook. Travel and music are his other hobbies. Presently he is using Nikon D90. Working as an investigator in Department Statitics and Economics, Kerala.
