YPS Workshop | Sep 21, 2024 | State Youth Centre

Smoke, in simple words, is the result of incomplete combustion of any material. From a photographer’s perspective it is one of the easiest subjects to shoot. Though the easiest, it demands a high level of patience and observational skills. The resulting images combined with post processing techniques gives astonishing results. Multiple types of images can be created using different post processing techniques. These images give you a peek into the mysterious and mesmerizing world of smoke.

About Mr Girish Mayachari

Girish Mayachari has been pursuing photography for over 2 decades. Starting off his journey as a landscape photographer during his treks, he later on tried his hands in various genres including macro, bird, wildlife, fashion, portraiture, still life / table top, travel and fine art photography to name a few. After attending a Glassware photography workshop organized by YPS and conducted by Mr Vinod Sunder, he started experimenting in an attempt to create unique images. During one such experimental shoot, using a dhoop cone opened up a whole new world that fascinated him and engulfed him. Further experiments in shooting smoke and then using different post processing techniques resulted in images that gave immense joy and satisfaction. He continues to research and experiment with an objective of creating artistic images that are better than the ones he has already created.
