My Wildlife Photography Journey
Join me, Kalana Premawardana, on my wildlife photography adventure.
About Me
My journey into wildlife photography began with a small point-and-shoot and a childhood trip to Yala National Park that would change everything. At just five years old, I discovered the magic of freezing incredible moments in time – a passion that has defined my life ever since.
My Journey
My path has been anything but ordinary. In my early twenties, I worked as a naturalist and safari guide in Sri Lanka, where I learned to translate my deep love for wildlife into powerful visual narratives. Each photograph became more than just an image – it was a bridge connecting people to the wild, revealing the raw emotion and intricate beauty of the natural world.
Now based in Sweden, I've expanded my photographic canvas, exploring and capturing the unique wildlife of a completely different landscape. My lens continues to seek out those fleeting, profound moments that tell stories of survival, beauty, and connection.
My Mission
Photography, for me, is far more than a profession – it's a calling. Each image is a deliberate act of storytelling and conservation. I'm not just capturing wildlife; I'm giving voice to the voiceless, documenting the delicate ecosystems that sustain our planet.
Conservation Commitment
Photography is more than capturing beautiful moments for me—it's about making a meaningful difference. I'm currently working on exploring conservation opportunities, and a fraction of all print sales will be dedicated to supporting wildlife preservation efforts.
My goal is to contribute to the protection of our planet's incredible biodiversity, ensuring that the wild spaces and species we love can thrive for generations to come.
The Artwork
My fine art prints are more than decorative pieces – they're windows into the wild. Printed on high-quality Hahnemühle archival paper, each limited and non-limited edition print invites you to bring a piece of the natural world into your home.
An Invitation
I invite you to explore my collection, to feel the connection I've experienced through my lens, and to become part of a larger story of wildlife preservation and appreciation.
Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary journey.
