Mr. Suhdarak Olwe comes from
Akola, a district in the state of
Maharashtra. He has a Diploma in Photography from the
Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art (1986), Mumbai and also a Diploma in Film and Video Production (1992) from
St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. But he credits his success to experience rather than educational qualifications. He ran away from his home in Mumbai to Hyderabad for some time which taught him about street life which he depicts in his Pictures. Sudharak Olwe heads the Photography promotion Trust, which aims to spread the knowledge of photography in young adults not only in urban areas but in the rural side too. == References ==
