For Indra Swari W, the underwater world gives her a sense of tranquility and offers so much beauty that never fails to impress her each time she dives. Through her photography she captures these beauty and share it with family and friends.
Her pictures have developed further with the experience and knowledge that she has gained over the years. Working with animals in their natural habitat has given her great challenges and at the same time great satisfaction through the results she gets. Passion, dedication and patience are the three ingredients that Indra strongly believes provide for successful underwater photography and these elements are evident in her extensive portfolio. Her passion and enthusiasm for finding and photographing new creatures and their behaviour remains undiminished, she continues to be driven by the many opportunities she has yet to experience around the worlds oceans.
