==Early Days==<br />
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.
