Presentation by: Dr Prashanth Kulkarni
This presentation captures Dr Kulkarni’s travel experience in Japan through the lens of photography, focusing on the art of planning a trip and exploring the country during the iconic sakura (cherry blossom) season. It showcases the blend of preparation and spontaneity that shapes a photographer’s journey — from selecting locations to timing visits with the fleeting bloom.
Through a street photography perspective, the presentation highlights how Japan’s urban charm, cultural nuances, and everyday moments transform beneath a canopy of blossoms. It aims to inspire thoughtful travel and visual storytelling, offering insight into how careful planning can reveal the extraordinary within the ordinary.
