After excellent programs on January 6th by Shri. Suresh Moona on the history of Bangalore and two back-to-back programs on Jan 14th by young Dheeraj Nanda and Shri. Kiran Poonacha, we have scheduled yet another great slideshow on Travel Photography by Shri. Shankar Subramanian as part of YPS Meet on January 20th.

Shankar Subramanian is an internationally recognized photographer specializing in Travel Photography. He has traveled widely in India and overseas and loves making images that tell stories of the places he visited. He is also a Photo Mentor with Darter Photography.

He feels deeply passionate and enthusiastic about photography and has started several initiatives to mentor new photographers to blossom into great photographers. He runs a popular group, TGIS – Thank God It’s Saturday, to lead groups of young photographers to get a hands on experience in making creative photographers. He has also conducted several exhibitions in Bangalore using photographs from the group to raise funds for MSSI (Multiple Sclerosis Society of India) to treat patients suffering from this devastating nervous disorder.

His photographs from Rajasthan, Mathura and Allahabad have got him international recognition from the prestigious International Photography Awards, International Color awards and Black and White Spider awards. He has exhibited his pictures in some of the leading galleries in India and many of his pictures have sold multiple prints.

He has been mentored by Shri. Anand Sharan, Bangalore School of Arts and Photography on photography techniques and Mr. Tewfic El Savy, a renowned travel photographer based in the USA, on creating travel documentaries.

Professionally he leads Nine Dots, an organization specializing in delivering corporate training on various topics of leadership and management.

Individual Images to Storytelling

The focus of the slideshow and talk during this YPS Meet would be to understand the art of Travel Documentary through storytelling images that celebrates the beauty of each place that you visit. This calls for research, making contacts, planning and quick-on-feet skills to capture those compelling images.
