HULSURE Swati

Swati Hulsure is a passionate photographer and a creative artist. She loves photographing nature, flowers, animals, landscapes, seascapes, architecture, families, children and people in their candid moments. She has won few awards at State and National level. She is enthusiastic and loves to be involved in volunteer work on various occasions for the community, related to photography through AIPP – Australian Institute of Professional Photographers. She is also very passionate about wildlife and habitat conservation and has volunteered for the cause. She is originally from India and currently lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. Her Indian heritage and her experience living in Australia influence her art and photography. Her background in Graphic Design and her love for painting gives her an added advantage when it comes to composition, colours and aesthetics in photography. 

“You can say so much through photography. I love how light interacts with a subject and can make something ordinary look extraordinary. I enjoy capturing candid magical moments. I love that with our photographs we can tell stories. I love bringing a smile on people’s faces as much as I love to create an emotive photograph that is melancholy and deeply moving. If I can stir up an emotion within people through my photography nothing can be more satisfying. Photography has immensely changed the way I look at the world. It is something that I enjoy very much and it’s almost like a meditative and therapeutic process for me.”

Swati is also a watercolour artist. She has always loved art and drawing since her childhood. She is a nature lover and enjoys painting baby animals & birds. Nature with its beautiful trees, flowers, animals, birds, mountains, lakes and oceans inspires her. She absolutely adores children. Her drawings are emotive and cute. Children and adults both love her art.

“What I love about watercolour as a medium is that it has its very soft and delicate aesthetics. How water moves and interacts with paint; the fluid and unpredictable nature of both, like you never know how the painting is going to turn out. It is like finding a wonderful surprise at the end of the process. That is what is so beautiful and enjoyable to me.”
