SUMMARY:Seeing Beyond The Obvious
DESCRIPTION:YPS Saturday Meet | Feb 21\, 2026 | Different Perspectives In Photography | Google Meet By: Ashwini Kumar BhatSeeing Beyond the Obvious is a reflective exploration of photography as a way of seeing in a time of visual abundance. Through a personal lens\, the talk considers attention\, repetition\, restraint\, and the quiet evolution that comes from slowing down and looking more deeply at familiar places. It touches on photography not as an act of accumulation\, but as an ongoing process of perception—one shaped by patience\, presence\, and a willingness to engage with the medium beyond immediacy and spectacle  About: Ashwini Kumar Bhat Ashwini Kumar Bhat is a nature and landscape photographer who has been exploring photography as a deeply personal form of expression for almost two decades.
