Fanthome’s first photographs came off a Zenith 122 in 1999 while he was still an undergraduate at St. Stephen’s College, New Delhi. In 2009 he was awarded the ‘National Academy Award for Visual Art’ by the National Lalitkala Academy – becoming, at 27, the youngest of three photographers to have ever received this National Honour.
His oeuvre of work spans diverse sectors from Commercial and Architecture Photography to Development and Wildlife.
He loves to teach photography giving youngsters an opportunity to discover the power and excitement of the medium, something he discovers afresh every time he points his lens in a new direction.
In addition to photography he's an avid naturalist, a keen birder and loves cooking!
