Raghu Rai Center For Photography conducted photography exhibition at AIFACS New Delhi. This exhibition has given an outstanding opportunity to one year diploma course students to showcase their perspective to the world and also provided them an excellent opportunity to connect with the professionals of this field. They also got a chance to get their work published in print and electronic media.
Lens Academy mentor Vipul is an alumni of RRCFP and has been trained under mentorship of Mr. Nitin Rai & guidance of legendary photographer Sri Raghu Rai. He has been visiting the exhibition every year to build a connect, congratulate and encourage outgoing photographers.
For Its young students, Lens Academy perceived this exhibition as an opportunity to experience the visual arts of diverse genres, culture and creative ways, exhibiting photographers and artists approach their work with.
I was amazed to see the energetic involvement of youngsters in exhibition. They were stooping on each creative art, guessing the perspective why a specific picture was clicked by the photographer that way, and then analysed technical aspects like what could be the camera settings when that picture was clicked such as high ISO (if the picture had some grains), aperture (analysing depth of field), shutter speed (specially where there was motion blur), whether the flash had been used. Ankit Mudgal was amazed when one of Lens Academy students mentioned use of Panning in one of his exhibited images.
Some students were taking notes, some were sharing their experience on digital media. It was also an opportunity for Lens academy to realise the taste of youngsters in the field of photography. Some showed interest in toy photo stories, some in landscapes, some in motion blur etc.
Exhibitors were astonished with technical knowledge of young kids about basics of photography, the kind of questions they were asking and the level of curiosity they showed.
Exhibition is never the final conclusion but a continuation of one’s work and a journey to experiment further new things.
