Ambassador Spotlight:
Kaushiik Subramaniam

Filmmaker & Videographer

“The ability to charge my laptop in the field, often without access to a socket for hours, is what makes the Omni 20+ a game-changer.“

When it comes to traveling and capturing the natural world, Kaushiik Subramaniam, an acclaimed wildlife photographer, and filmmaker, is truly unmatched. Kaushiik’s voyage with Omnicharge, specifically the transformative Omni 20+, exemplifies how cutting-edge technology enhances his creativity and productivity on the move.

As a child, Kaushiik found his curiosity ignited by the enthralling world of wildlife. This early fascination nurtured a passion, which eventually crystallized into his career. Earning a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation Biology was a stepping stone in his journey towards blending his love for photography and filmmaking with conservation advocacy.

Yet, his talents extend far beyond his professional endeavors. Kaushiik is a gifted polyglot, conversing effortlessly in five languages, and an accomplished free-diver, plunging to impressive depths of 25 meters in a single breath. These diverse abilities enrich his worldview, making his storytelling in photography and film truly distinctive and immersive.

Embodying the Spirit of Conservation

Wherever Kaushiik's travels lead him, he brings along his unfaltering dedication to environmental consciousness, beautifully portraying it through his lens. The narratives woven in his photographs and films vividly underline the irreplaceable value of our wildlife, speaking volumes about our shared responsibility for their protection. As Kaushiik himself says, “Traveling around the world, observing the awe-inspiring creatures we cohabitate with, only fuels my passion. It drives me to want to protect them, for the sake of our shared world."

Perfecting His Craft

Kaushiik never underestimates the demanding nature of a career in wildlife filmmaking. His tenacity and commitment to overcoming challenges came to the fore during the COVID-19 lockdown, when he taught himself video editing, a task that demanded patience and hard work. His dedication paid off handsomely with global recognition.

The crowning glory of his achievements was being a finalist in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year award, widely recognized as the epitome of honor in nature photography.

His captivating image of a shark propelled him to this enviable position. Additionally, one of his videos featuring an endearing sleeping seal went viral worldwide, even featuring on a Japanese children's TV show. His short film highlighting the importance of the reef ecosystem in marine life further attests to his skills and commitment.

Empowering His Vision with Omnicharge

Beyond his laptop, Kaushiik relies on three essential devices for his shoots: the Sony A7riii as his main camera, GoPro for underwater captures, and the DJI Mavic 3 Cine for stunning aerial views.

During one memorable instance, while following a pod of whales via his drone in Mozambique, Kaushiik faced a nerve-wracking scenario. His drone, miles away from him, was suddenly on the brink of a power outage. In the nick of time, he managed to recover the device just as its battery ran out. This moment drove home the importance of having a reliable power source, leading him to Omnicharge's Omni 20+.

The Omni 20+ revolutionized Kaushiik's workflow on subsequent trips. He no longer had to worry about running out of power for any of his devices, even in remote locations. The advanced portable power device's ability to charge his laptop was particularly invaluable. As Kaushiik expresses, “The ability to charge my laptop in the field, often without access to a socket for hours, is what makes the Omni 20+ a game-changer.”

The impact of Omnicharge on Kaushiik's work is a testament to the device's power and versatility. As he continues his journey of exploration and advocacy, the Omni 20+ promises to be a steadfast companion. Here's to more impactful stories and thrilling adventures, all powered by Omnicharge, Kaushiik!
