Doha: In October last year, ‘Lights of Passion’ earned 24-year-old Aishwarya Sridhar the ‘Highly Commended Award’ in Behaviour of Invertebrate Category at the 56th Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2020 organised by the Natural History Museum in London.
In an email interview with
The Peninsula, Aishwarya said winning the prestigious award and being the first Indian woman to win was a humbling experience.
“It feels surreal. I have always dreamt of having my image on display at the Natural History Museum in London but never really thought it would become a reality. I was overwhelmed and humbled to know that my image had made it to the Top 100 awarded images this year,” the Panvel resident said.
