Seetharam Maddali in Bryce canyon, Southern Utah

Seetharam Maddali's passion for nature and photography dates back to his childhood growing up in wildlife-rich Southern India. Seetharam's Masters Degree in Computer Science led him, his wife and daughter to the United States, where he worked as a software developer in the field of conservation and land-use planning, working for federal and state agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS), U.S. Forest Service, and the Texas Natural Resources Information System.

Seetharam’s travel experiences feed his ongoing love of nature photography and his appreciation for the planet’s rich diversity.
