The more I wish to describe the mystics of Banaras\, the more I fall short of words. Then you know how most of your deepest experiences go unexpressed. Being a Photographer is a Blessing. It has given me a Tool to use to make people see the unseen. Each of my Pictures on Banaras and its vibrant life is a Story\, a Narrative.  \nThe Daily Life of Banaras is Unique in itself. The human activities seen here are typical of this place. All these provide immense subject for a photographer and has become a reason for an inflow of a huge number of photographers to come here and shoot. Banaras is one of the most picturized cities of the World. \nI have been clicking Banaras for the last 3 decades and till date\, it is almost a weekly ritual to move around with my Camera capturing with all the passion the various aspects of this fast changing city. When some people ask me what is it that I find so interesting in the lanes\, the Ghats\, the Ganges\, Fairs and festivals\, and the pandemic period also that I keep taking so many pictures (over 10 lakhs till date).  \nTo this I tell them that it is a Love affair between me and Banaras that doesn’t cease. Instead it is growing deeper with each passing day and every day I look at my city\, I find it to be as new as ever.” \n « ‹ of 6 › » \n \nTo join the session\n\nFaceBook:\n1.

Manish Khattry has been contributing to society from the age of 16 when his cartoons found a regular place in a leading daily newspaper. Since then\, it has been a journey\, where he has devoted himself completely to the creative world comprising art\, literature\, music\, and culture. Having Introduced computers as a recognized medium of art for the first time in India in 1994\, he trained around 3000 students and got their works of Computer Painting exhibited in various art galleries including Lalit Kala Academy\, New Delhi. \nPhotography captured his interest for a reason: his desire to know and then show the beauty in the antiquity of Banaras to the World. The rich culture and heritage of this City has attracted him and inspired to click it for a decade. Today\, he has a collection of more than 10 lakh pictures of Varanasi portraying its various facets of architecture\, daily life\, fairs and festivals\, food and craft\, etc. The thought behind is also to preserve the ‘real’ contemporary Banaras through his lens and prints in this very fast-changing world. His pictures of this city\, primarily\, have gained him the honor of being one of the top-ranked Street Photographers of the World. \nNow on a serious mission of compiling and publishing these pictures\, they are a storyteller in their own way. In this series\,  ‘Varanasi – The Luminous City (2007)’\, ‘My World Through My Lens (2014)’ have already seen the light of the day and recently ‘The Book of Banaras (2015 & 2017)’ got unveiled by honourable Governor of  Uttar Pradesh\, India Shri Ram Naik and ‘The Life of Banaras :: Volume 1 – Black and White (2017)’ ‘Bhaj Vishwanatham – The first coffee table book of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple (Hindi – 2017)\, ‘The Life of Banaras :: Volume 2 – Color (2018)’\, ‘Sanskrit Bhagirathi (2018)’\, ‘Mysterious Banaras (2019)’\, ‘Kashi – Older than History by Times Group (2019)’\, ‘Magh Mela Prayagraj (2019)’\, ‘Bhaj Vishwanatham – Pictorial story of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple (English – 2019)\, ‘Banaras – Sacred Thread of Eternal Peace (2019)’\,  ‘Chaurasi Ghat – Banaras ke thath by Jagran Group (2020)’\, ‘Banaras – City Eternal (2020)’\, ‘Kashi – Fairs and Festivals / Lakkha Mela  (2020)’ and ‘Kashi Rahasya – Vol 01 of 08 (2021).  \nHe also promotes Banaras through his photographs and books all over the world. Recently he presented his black and white works as an exhibition of photographs titled ‘Life of Banaras’ at Indira Gandhi Centre for Indian Culture\, Mauritius; organised by High Commission of India\, Mauritius. He has been invited to present such shows in other countries also.   \nA Gold Medallist in Master of Fine Arts from the Banaras Hindu University\, he served the Department of Applied Arts\, BHU as a visiting faculty.

Although most of his commercial work is done on digital\, Nanda still shoots all his personal work on film. It has nothing to do with the quality of the images but the pure joy it brings him in being able to control every aspect of the image making process from the click of the camera to watching the print appear under the red safe light in the darkroom.  \nHe leads photo tours to different parts of the world in small groups where he likes to share his approach to experiential travel photography. Rather than everyone recreate an image that is popular on Instagram\, Nanda pushes his participants to let their personal experiences shape their photography and the stories that come from the pursuit of this art form. \n \n\nYou can follow Nanda here:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/nandman83\nhttps://www.instagram.com/grumpy_oldman_/\nhttp://phocus.com.sg/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/phocusacademy/ \n  \n-YPS Executive Committee URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/the-forgotten-trains-of-india/ LOCATION:YPS Facebook and YouTube Live\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Meet - Live,YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/YPS-Meet-The-Forgotten-Trains-of-India-A-presentation-by-Mr-Nandakumar-Narasimhan-on-02-May-on-YPS-Facebook-and-YouTube-at-5-30-PM-IST-Web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210418T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210418T190000 DTSTAMP:20261008T124003 CREATED:20210413T183212Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210520T142558Z UID:10058-1618767000-1618772400@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:High Heavens\, Down to Earth - Aerial and Wide Angle Wildlife Photography DESCRIPTION:YPS Meet Live | April 18\, Sun | 5:30 PM | Online\nBird’s eye view – Have you ever wondered how a rhino or a giraffe’s shadow looks like to a bird flying high up?\nWorm’s eye view –  Have you ever wondered what an elephant or a buffalo looks like to a rodent? \nHop in on a safari with Mr Gurcharan Roopra\, a gifted photographer from Kenya.\n \n \nTo join the session\n\nFaceBook:\n1.

The serene environs of his native place left a lasting impact and he became attracted to nature at an early age. After graduating in automotive engineering\, Gurcharan lived and worked in the UK for ten years where he sorely missed the space and freedom of the bush. By 2012 he made up his mind and returned to Kenya for good. Returning to the bush coincided with him developing an interest in photography. What started off as a hobby took deep roots in his mind and soon his life started revolving around wildlife and nature photography. Time and the bush were great mentors where he developed and honed his skills to become one of the most noted nature photographers in Africa.  \nThe more time Gurcharan spent in nature\, the more passionate he became towards Mother Earth and the many fellow beings on it. He is committed to the cause of a pristine earth and has devoted his time and energy to many conservation causes in Kenya. He is happy for the fact that his images have come useful for many conservation projects. One thing is for sure\, there are many more exciting things to come from this gifted photographer! \n\nYou can follow Gurcharan here:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/gurcharan.roopra\nhttps://www.instagram.com/gurcharan/\nhttps://twitter.com/gurcharanroopra\nhttps://gurcharanroopra.com \n  \n-YPS Executive Committee URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/high-heavens-down-to-earth-aerial-and-wide-angle-wildlife-photography/ LOCATION:YPS Facebook and YouTube Live\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Meet - Live,YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/YPS-Meet-High-Heavens-Down-to-Earth-A-Presentation-by-Mr-Gurcharan-Roopra-on-18-Apr-on-YPS-Facebook-and-YouTube-at-5-30PM-IST-Web-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210404T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210404T190000 DTSTAMP:20261008T124003 CREATED:20210331T163045Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210331T173025Z UID:9955-1617557400-1617562800@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:"Blur - My Style" Street Photography DESCRIPTION:YPS Meet Live | April 04\, Sun | 5:30 PM | YPS Facebook Page and YouTube Channel\nBroadly speaking any photo taken at a public place may be called street photography.

They are important pollinators\, an integral part of the food web\, ecologically beneficial\, and help in ecosystem balance. Butterflies have fascinated man since ages. Their colorful fluttering wings invite our awe. Children love to chase them and poets get inspired to write poems about them. Their strange life pattern baffles even the wisest scientists\, while nature lovers owe their gratitude for the priceless role played by these winged beauties in perpetuating life on earth. The butterfly is indeed a unique and amazing creature which deserves our attention and careful study. \n \nTo join the session\n\nFaceBook:\n1. Like the YPS Facebook page by clicking here:\n2.

He completed his schooling at Rotary English Medium School\, Moodabidri and then studied at Sri Bhuvanendra College\, Karkala. Being born and brought up in a village\, the natural instinct to conserve wildlife and nature\, influenced a lot in his life. \nHis special interest for butterflies grew when he was allotted a project on “Study of local butterflies”\, by his Zoology teacher\, Prof. Ashok C H\, during his graduation days at Alva’s College Moodbidri. Since then\, he has been keenly observing these winged beauties and dedicated himself to conserve them. \nAs a 19 year old\, he had recorded about 30 species. They had a wild patch of Clerodendrum viscosum which used to attract many butterflies including the endemic Malabar Banded Peacock (now the logo of the butterfly park). He was so fascinated by this butterfly that he spent hours waiting for it near the flowering patch with his camera. These butterflies returned back to the same flowering patch every half an hour to one hour and it was worth the wait. He managed to click his first photograph of this beauty  with his Kodak EasyShare camera\, which was gifted by his brother. Until 2013 he had recorded about 70 species of butterflies in his backyard.  \nThe Butterfly Park in Belvai which was founded by him in the year 2011\, with the aim of conserving the butterfly fauna of Western Ghats\, also creates awareness among the general public and students\, making them understand the importance of butterflies in nature. The park encourages and motivates people to create and conserve natural habitat for butterflies\, and other wildlife forms.  His 100 minutes documentary film “Life of butterflies”\, released last season\, reveals the interesting facts about butterflies and their life history. The footage for the documentary was shot\, exclusively at the butterfly park by him\, in a 4 years span. It is the country’s first ever comprehensive documentary on butterflies and is appreciated by butterfly experts across the nation. \nHe was featured in ‘Amazing Indians’ Season III by Times Now as an ‘Exceptional Eco Saviour’ in 2013 for his work on butterfly conservation. The butterfly park at Belvai was also honoured by ‘World Book of Records’\, London\, UK\, in 2018 for hosting awareness programs and conservation activities. He was awarded the ‘Popular Choice Award’ in 2020 by Deccan Herald at the DH Changemakers 2020 event \nYou can follow Sammilan’s work here:\nFB: https://www.facebook.com/sammilan.shetty/\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/sammilan_shetty\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/sammilanshetty \n\n\n-YPS Executive Committee URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/my-unending-journey-with-butterflies/ LOCATION:YPS Facebook and YouTube Live\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Meet - Live,YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/YPS-Meet-My-Unending-Journey-with-Butterflies-A-Presentatio-by-Mr-Sammilan-Shetty-on-Feb-21-at-5-30-PM-IST-Web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210207T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210207T190000 DTSTAMP:20261008T124003 CREATED:20210204T104055Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210204T105421Z UID:9635-1612719000-1612724400@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:From Guns and Scalpels to Telephotos DESCRIPTION:YPS Meet Live | Feb 07\, Sun | 5:30 PM | YPS Facebook Page and YouTube Channel\nA hunter turned Medical photographer\, turned Wildlife photographer\, is Dr Harinarayan Salunky’s journey in life.  Realising the value of shooting with a camera\, Dr Salunky started his journey in 1954.  Since then he has never looked back and has enjoyed shooting wildlife\, accumulating awards\, distinctions and judging in salons and competitions.   \nLet us join him in this incredible journey without a destination\, one that every wildlife photographer wishes to undertake. \n \nTo join the session\n\nFaceBook:\n1.

He has had some of his most enjoyable days out there with a little photography and a bit of “craic” with the likes of the legendary Joey Dunlop and Conor McGinn. Sadly\, too many Irish road-racers have been badly injured and have lost their lives in the sport – they give so much enjoyment to so many fans often for very meagre prizes. Brian still attends road-racing events and still enjoys the challenge involved in photographing this sport. \n\nTo broaden horizons\, Brian regularly enters International Salons under the auspices of The Federation Internationale de l’Art Photographique – FIAP and The Photographic Society of America – PSA.  \nWhen you enter an International Salon “parish politics” don’t exist – you survive on the strength of your pictures.

Since then he has performed close to 2500 kidney transplants\, the most by any surgeon in Karnataka.  \nHe was the President of the prestigious Indian Society of Organ Transplantation from 2010 to 2012\, and has many publications in national and international journals. He has received many awards\, including the Lifetime Achievement Award given by the Nephrology Association of Karnataka\, Lifetime Achievement Award given by FKCCI\, Karnataka\, Samaja Seva Bhushan Award given by the Subharam Trust\, Karnataka\, and many others. \nDr Huilgol has been invited by the Govts of Bangladesh\, Ethiopia\, Uganda\, and Nigeria to set up kidney transplant centres in those countries\, and to train their surgeons. \nWhile still in medical college as an undergraduate\, he made his debut as a cricket commentator in English for All India Radio\, Bangalore\, in 1972. He continued to give commentary\, in spite of being a busy surgeon\, until 2005. He was probably the youngest commentator in the country when he made his debut as a 20 year old in 1972. He has also lent his voice to Doordarshan for some international cricket matches\, including the Women’s World Cup in 1997\, and the Sri Lanka vs India ODI in 1997. \nAgain\, while still an undergraduate\, he became a hypnotist\, and conducted many hypnosis shows in Bangalore and Mysore. \nEven as a youngster Dr Huilgol was interested in nature and wildlife\, but it wasn’t until 2007 when he developed a keen interest in wildlife photography. With Mr M N Jayakumar as his guru\, he bought his first digital camera\, the Canon 1D Mk3\, and started visiting many wildlife reserves in India and abroad.  \nIn 2008 he received his Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society. In 2009 he received the Runner-up Award in the prestigious BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year in the Mammals Behaviour category. His images and articles have appeared in many magazines and books. He is a very sought-after speaker on topics ranging from travels to post-processing.  \nIn June 2001\, his image and video of a large male tiger (later named Masti) caught in a jaw trap in Nagarahole Tiger Reserve led to the arrest of over 40 poachers of the notorious Sansar Chand gang. For this he was made a Special Police Officer in the CID Forest Wing\, Govt of Karnataka.  \nFinally\, Dr Huilgol has also acted in a movie\, “Freaky Chakra” that starred Dipti Naval. \nYou can follow his work here:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ajit.huilgol.3 \n-YPS Executive Committee URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/antarctica-the-last-frontier/ LOCATION:YPS Facebook and YouTube Live\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Meet - Live,YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/YPS-Meet-Antarctica-the-last-frontier-A-presentation-by-Ajit-Huilgol-on-13-Dec-at-5-30PM-IST-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20201212T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20201212T190000 DTSTAMP:20261008T124004 CREATED:20201209T144203Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201209T145240Z UID:9325-1607794200-1607799600@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:The YPS Saturday Meet - Mundane to Magnificent DESCRIPTION:YPS Saturday Meet | Dec 12\, Sat | 5:30 PM IST | Google Meet\n“Mundane to Magnificent” –  A presentation focusing on how Mr. Ananth Kamat photographed mundane objects around him\, such as utensils\, daily groceries\, and turned them into art. \n \nAbout the Speaker:\n \nMr Ananth Kamat AFIP is a Software Engineer by profession\, and based in Bangalore.

He should strive to create beauty out of ordinary looking common things which usually go unnoticed…..and thus began a new journey –  Experimentation with FORM & COLOUR \n \nFrom the very beginning\, he had a very strong liking for colourful geometrical and graphic forms found in nature as well as in man-made structures.  With the passage of time\, this liking has become stronger & stronger & stronger ….. \nand he started looking & striving  for the possibilities to extract the essence of these elements to transform them into contemporary art form.   \nHe says “Colour & form play important roles in our life in many ways in terms of utility & aesthetics. In this world “form and colour”   are important aspects and attributes for everything\, whether living or nonliving.  \nIn nature and in man-made structures we find numerous forms (Geometrical\, graphic or otherwise) and colours and these forms have tremendous relationship and bonding with each other and thus give the concept of beauty and sense of aesthetics and stimulate the human mind. \nThese images deal with patterns (forms) & colours\, and their relationship derived from classic ideals of balance and symmetry. \nThese Images were created mostly from ordinary looking structures to show the inner vision through the pictures which create something unusual\, and that unusual comes to life from looking at them through the camera viewfinder. \nThe main aim & concept is to  create something unusual from most usual and ordinary looking things \nI feel there are splendid lines (forms) and energy and space which are brilliantly crafting balance between stability and movement and  it inspires me to use them with a sense of aesthetic possibilities.” \nTo join the session\n\nFaceBook:\n1.
