In addition to looking after they day-to-day functioning of Digital Camera World in Australia, Sharmishta is the Managing Editor (APAC) for TechRadar as well. Her passion for photography started when she was wandering the wilds of India studying monkeys and is entirely self-taught. That puts her in the unique position of understanding what a beginner or enthusiast is looking for in a camera or lens, and writes to help those like her on their path to developing their skills or finding the best gear.
While she experiments with quite a few genres of photography, her main area of interest is nature photography – wildlife, landscapes and macro. She's also a self-professed 'lazy' photographer – if she can make do without carrying a piece of kit, like a tripod, she will and then will attempt astrophotography handheld. She still prefers an optical viewfinder but is utterly fascinated with what mirrorless technology has been able to achieve.
With an ear to the ground in the Asia-Pacific territory, she is constantly on top of camera news and breaking developments in the Australian region, in addition to sourcing local deals during big retail events like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday / Cyber Monday.
