I’m Jwala Kotesh Rao, a visual journalist based in Hyderabad, working across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. I tell stories through images — capturing moments that inform, engage, and inspire. From breaking news to in-depth features, I blend a sharp news instinct with technical expertise in photography, editing, and visual storytelling. With experience in the latest cameras and digital tools, I create visuals crafted for print, social media, and mobile platforms.

My work has been featured in international and national outlets such as BBC, Financial Times, Foreign Policy, Daily Mail, The Nation, Khaleej Times, Condé Nast Digital, Deutsche Welle, and many others.

At the heart of my work is a simple goal: to transform everyday moments into powerful stories that connect with people.
