Chennai, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/01/2013 -- A budding student wildlife photographer from Chennai in India is putting a technological spin to raise funds for his passion to become a professional photographer.

Arjun who dreams of one day becoming a professional wildlife photographer has turned to the harness the power of social media to raise money to turn his dreams into reality.

The budding photographer love of the wildlife began when he was five years old when his grandfather who visited the forest for his timber showed him the spectacular wildlife and his burning desire to one day share his passion for these amazing animals through the lens of his camera has never faded.

The student photographer dream is to become a qualified wildlife photographer where he wants to share with the world through his amazing pictures with each one telling a heart-warming story about how spectacular the wildlife on planet earth is, but there is a problem. Arjun needs to get an internship to fulfill his dream and at the moment his dream is being dashed by not having enough experience under his belt.

Arjun said: "I loved taking pictures of animals! Eventually, I became addicted to it and bought a Digital SLR for $450 (Rs.25000 Indian Rupees) and a lens (70-200) for $850 (Rs.48800 Indian Rupees). I now have a portfolio and I have contacted wildlife photographers all over India for an internship. However, they have refused to give me a chance because I need to explore more places."

As part of Arjun campaign to raise $3,500, he has turned to the powerful internet to reach out to people including business executives, politicians and celebrities to gain their support and help to fulfill his dream of reaching his goal of gaining an internship.
