For October, we're introducing you to Rajeev (@Rajeevprpr on [X](https://twitter.com/Rajeevprpr) and @rajeev.pr_ on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/rajeev.pr_)) from India. Rajeev is passionate about wildlife photography and, of course, Snapdragon technology. Here's what he had to say about being a Snapdragon Insider — but first, let's hear from Rajeev 👇 **What sparked your interest in technology?** I started my technology journey as a mobile photographer, which naturally led to an interest in smartphone technologies. In India, I think most people prefer devices with Snapdragon and are interested in the technology advancements happening with mobile phones. Once I got a device with Snapdragon technology or processor, I could really tell the difference in the processing power, especially with macro photography. Macro photography demands a good quality camera and a powerful processor to ensure the color is accurate and the depth is correct. **What's your go-to device for photography powered by Snapdragon?** I'm currently using a [Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/device-finder/samsung-galaxy-a52s-5g) with the [Snapdragon® 778G 5G Mobile Platform](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/smartphones/snapdragon-7-series-mobile-platforms/snapdragon-778g-5g-mobile-platform). I'm also planning to buy a [OnePlus 11](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/device-finder/oneplus11), which has the [Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform](https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/smartphones/snapdragon-8-series-mobile-platforms/snapdragon-8-gen-2-mobile-platform), to test it out for photography. **What's the best photo you've ever taken with a smartphone camera powered by Snapdragon?** I couldn't pick a favorite but I'm proud of the last two macro shots I took. One is a really close up picture of a dragonfly and the other is a close up of an ant. Those are some of my favorites. ![Qualcomm-image](https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/dmqualcommprod/Inline_1_688x444%20(1)?$QC_Responsive$&fmt=png-alpha&wid=700) ![Qualcomm-image](https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/dmqualcommprod/Inline_1_688x444-20?$QC_Responsive$&fmt=png-alpha&wid=700) **How/why did you get involved with the Snapdragon Insider community?** I have been passively involved for a while, but I recently became actively involved because of Bhaumik (@BhaumikBheda1 on [X](https://twitter.com/BhaumikBheda1) and @bhaumik_bheda on [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@bhaumik_bheda?_t=8ydkr3w2alo&_r=1) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bhaumik_bheda/)), who was actually the [July Snapdragon Insider of the Month](https://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragoninsiders/news-forums/meet-bhaumik---the-july-snapdragon-insider-of-the-month). He has always supported my photography and noticed I was posting a lot of #ShotOnSnapdragon pictures to Instagram. After the Snapdragon social media account liked my photos and encouraged me to keep posting — which was a real boost to me that such a well-known community is supporting me — I asked Bhaumik how I could get more involved with the community. He directed me to the [Snapdragon Insiders Discord](https://discord.com/invite/x9K8sqGAvj). After joining the Discord, I found a family within the Snapdragon Insiders community. **Who is your favorite Snapdragon Insider to follow?** There are so many. I like following Chad (@chadptorres on [X](https://twitter.com/chadptorres)), Jeffrey (@jeffrey_jpeg on [X](https://twitter.com/jeffrey_jpeg)), and José Luis Asensio Fierro (@yo_mismo1 on [X](https://twitter.com/yo_mismo1) — but there are so many others. I know I could go anywhere in the world and find someone who is a Snapdragon Insider. In a few months, I'll be in the United Kingdom, and I'm looking forward to meeting some Snapdragon Insiders there. ![Qualcomm-image](https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/dmqualcommprod/Inline_1_688x444%20(2)?$QC_Responsive$&fmt=png-alpha&wid=700) **What do you like most about being a Snapdragon Insider?** It's the community — there's so much support in this community. I can post something and Snapdragon Insiders from all over the world will support me. It's great to be a part of. All the people I listed above have given me incredible support and asked how I take my photos. Jeffrey is also in the OnePlus community and if I have any questions about OnePlus devices or photography, I know I can message him and ask him. The Snapdragon Insider community is the best — it's full of wonderful people and I love being a part of it. **What's your dream photography collaboration?** I would like to collaborate with Wayne Gilbert (@iamwaynegilbert on [X](https://twitter.com/iamwaynegilbert)) because I'm interested in street photography. He's a very good street photographer so I'd like to join him if I got the chance. **If budget/location wasn't an issue, what's your ideal photo shoot location?** I'm a wildlife photographer and for every wildlife photographer it's a dream to go to Maasai Mara in Kenya — that would be awesome. One of my friends is a famous photographer in Asia and he took a photo of a lion with his smartphone, and I'd like to be able to do the same. **What animal would you most like to take a photo of?
