SUMMARY:Georgia - Jewel of the Caucasus
DESCRIPTION:YPS Saturday Meet | Apr 27\, Sat | 5:30 PM IST | Travel Photography | Google Meet\nYPS is organizing a photo tour of Georgia later this year. Mr James Kerwin who has been visiting Georgia since Dec 2017 and also lived there through the pandemic will showcase his portfolio from Georgia\, and the capital Tbilisi. \nJames will showcase architectural images\, landscapes and hidden gems with stories and photo tips throughout \nSpeaker:\nMr James Kerwin \nBorn in 1982 into a British family\, James lived in Norwich\, England until January of 2019. He has committed the last ten years to documenting the beauty of forsaken\, dilapidated\, or forgotten architectural wonders; in addition\, he has started exploring ruins\, heritage spaces\, and deserted areas. He started taking architectural photos in late 2013\, and it took him into hidden corners and abandoned areas of cities\, all over the world.  \n‘Decadence\,’ his first series\, began his investigation into deserted buildings. He spent almost ten years building up a comprehensive portfolio that features some of the world’s most fascinating places. His approach to photography focuses on capturing clear lines and vibrant color palettes in the moment\, then enhancing the photos with modern post-processing methods.  \nNumerous international competitions have recognised his work and in 2017 it won both the ND Awards and the Chromatic Colour Awards in the Architecture category. He was placed second in the International Photography of the Year competition’s Architecture category in March 2018. In the exterior category\, his 2019 photo ‘Circle of Trust\,’ taken in Beirut\, Lebanon\, was shortlisted for the 2021 Architectural Photographer of the Year award.  \nHe debuted “Fabrica – A Journey Into Decay” and “Abandoned Lebanon” – published by Jonglez\, in the autumn of 2021. He has been a Pro Partner for Benro tripods since 2017 and was an ambassador for Tenba Camera Bags for some time. He held an affiliation with 5.11 Tactical\, who helped him out with luggage and clothing during 2019.  \nPhotography and travel go hand in hand. He had traveled throughout Europe extensively before he started taking pictures. He first became interested in photography in 2009\, ten months into his time in Melbourne\, Australia. He was set to head to the bright lights of Hong Kong when he went to a small camera store and bought a Panasonic Lumix LX3. Three weeks later\, he was shooting the light trail images that he had shot only a few days earlier\, standing in the dark on a bridge in Hong Kong.  \nHis journeys in pursuit of new experiences have been countless since he first picked up a camera. As a result\, in 2019 he decided to base himself permanently outside of the UK and started a photography adventure tour company\, first in Tbilisi\, Georgia. But as he developed it\, his artistic journey went on\, and he moved to Istanbul\, Türkiye – at the beginning of 2022.  \nHis portfolio shows that travel is a key component of his photographic storytelling. His curiosity about various cuisines\, textures\, colors\, and cultures inspires him to travel to new places. His steadfast passion for photography and love of travel inspire him to conduct thorough research and arrange all the necessary logistics so that he can take his camera to some truly unique places.  \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/james.kerwin/  \nYoutube:  www.jameskerwin.uk \n

SUMMARY:Subtle Elements - Demonstration on Product Photography
DESCRIPTION:YPS Saturday Meet | Sat\, Mar 02\, 2024 | 6:00 PM IST | State Youth Center\nProduct photography is a branch of commercial photography that focuses on capturing images of products in a visually appealing and enticing manner for marketing and advertising purposes. The main goal of product photography is to showcase the features\, details\, and quality of a product\, with the aim of attracting and engaging potential customers. The images are typically used in various promotional materials such as websites\, online marketplaces\, catalogs\, brochures\, and social media platforms. Another important aspect of product photography is showcasing the product from different angles\, capturing close-up shots of intricate details\, or demonstrating its functionality in use. This helps potential customers get a clear understanding of the product’s appearance\, features\, and benefits. Effective product photography requires a good understanding of the target audience\, brand identity\, and market trends. It involves collaboration between photographers\, art directors\, stylists\, and other professionals to create compelling images that evoke desire\, trust\, and engagement. Overall\, product photography plays a critical role in influencing consumers’ buying decisions by presenting products in an attractive and professional manner\, and helping businesses stand out in a competitive market.\n\nBring your camera\, lens (50mm / macro) and any small product for a hands-on experience!\n\n\n\nAbout the Mentor:\nMr Mohan Krishnappa\n\n\n\nMohan Krishnappa was born in Bengaluru and pursued a Masters in Information Technology. Currently\, he is working as a Consultant in an IT company.\n\nWhile he is an attentive listener by nature\, he has always been actively involved in sports\, especially cricket\, representing the KSCA division 5 and 4 through a private cricket club during his college days.\n\nHowever\, his true passion for photography blossomed when he started traveling and trekking in the Himalayas. It was during one of these trips that a friend introduced him to the world of DSLR photography\, particularly landscapes and wildlife photography. This introduction turned out to be an eye-opening experience and the best thing that happened to him.  \n\nAround 2009/2010\, he came across an article in the Deccan Herald newspaper about YPS (Youth Photographic Society). Intrigued\, he decided to visit YPS\, which is located at the State Youth Center\, and became a member. This marked the transition from photography as a mere hobby to a more dedicated and responsible passion. \n\nTo further enhance his skills\, he enrolled himself in a 5-day workshop led by the renowned photographer\, Mr Anand Sharan. During this workshop\, he was introduced to the world of portrait photography. Initially\, he focused on capturing animals\, but his interest gradually shifted towards photographing people. This allowed him to break out of his introverted shell as he had to actively engage and connect with people to capture their portraits. \n\nDespite this shift towards portrait photography\, he still find solace in the tranquility of forests. For him\, it is not always about photographing mammals and birds\, but rather about enjoying the raw beauty of nature\, immersing himself in its serenity\, and breathing in the fresh air. \n\nFinding a balance between his career and passion\, he has set up a small home studio for product photography. He dedicate a significant amount of time to exploring different lighting setups and techniques for capturing compelling product images. Lately\, he has also been working on retouching\, editing\, and blending techniques\, using overlays and textures to further refine his photography skills. Overall\, photography has become an integral part of his life\, allowing him to continuously learn\, explore\, and grow both personally and creatively.\n\nInstagram: @mohankrishnappa\nFacebook: @mohankrishnappa\nX: @mohankrishnappa\n\nLanguage: English\n\nRequest everyone to arrive 15 mins early.\n\n-YPS Executive Committee

He started photography in the year 2011 under the guidance of Sri. Suresh Basavaraju. \nHe has done birding not only in Karnataka but has visited Tamil Nadu\, Kerala\, Goa\, Maharashtra\, Gujarat\, Rajasthan\, Jammu and Kashmir\, Himachal Pradesh\, Sikkim\, Uttarakhand\, West Bengal\, Uttar Pradesh\, Assam and Orissa.  \nHe has also visited Sri Lanka\, Bhutan\, Kenya\, Botswana\, Zambia\, Costa Rica\, Ecuador\, Peru\, Cambodia\, Vietnam and USA for wildlife photography. \nSo far he has photographed over one thousand  species of birds of the Indian Sub continent and about seven hundred species around the world. \nWildlife has always fascinated him.

Its wildlife that got him first\, photography happened much later. \nOnly after a wildlife trip with his friend\, a photographer\, was he intrigued by the art of photography. Though he was using a basic DSLR back then\, a few moments in the forest with a camera is all it took to get him hooked for life.  An avid birder today\, he travels looking for specific species of birds across India and the world.  He has traveled extensively across the country except Northeast.  A lot of his work has been published in NGC Traveller\, and BNHS book of Birds of Maharashtra. Five bird images captured by  him have been printed as greeting cards by BNHS for the year 2015.  He has also won many National and International awards for wildlife photography.  \nNote: The session is FREE and Open to all. \n\n19 August @ 2 pm\nAll about Lighting\nPresentation and talk by H Satish\nLighting is the most essential aspect of photography. \nWithout light\, there’s no photography.\nHow we shape light is what makes the image stand out.

I had no idea that my hobby of clicking would take me here today. Photography has changed my vision of seeing things. \nIt was when I was in Hyderabad as a software engineer\, that I took up photography seriously. Right after my engineering I was selected for one of the MNCs and post-training I was posted to Hyderabad. Bengaluru\, being my hometown\, was my choice of preference but somewhere I believe that what happens is for good and photography is the best thing that happened to me. Working as an IT professional and being in front of the computer all the time\, photography was something that was most exciting and relaxing. With time I have understood and believe that photography is not just about picking up a camera\, start hitting the shutter. It is something much beyond it. If I’m asked to define photography I would say it is an art of capturing the subject in front of you in the most creative way. I like taking portraits\, landscapes and abstracts and prefer shooting in monochrome as it touches my heart and soul. I like to shoot my subjects from a totally different perspective.” \nhttps://linktr.ee/hardikpshah25https://instagram.com/hardikpshah25https://facebook.com/hardikpshah25https://vimeo.com/hardikpshah25 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Mentor\nM S Kakade\nM S Kakade\, an engineer by profession\, took to photography as a hobby after his retirement. He had no prior knowledge of photography.\nHis photography journey started after he joined YPS seven years ago and there has been no looking back. \nAfter shooting for a while with a DSLR\, he realised that a mobile camera gave him more flexibility as he\, like anyone else\, always had it on him. Since the ‘rules’ that go into making a good image are common\, be it a DSLR or a mobile camera\, the joy of being able to share a picture instantly\, made the mobile camera a preferred choice. \nWhile he still uses his DSLR for ‘specialised’ subjects like wildlife\, sports\, macro or even when he wants to print his pictures\, he uses the mobile camera on almost every other occasion. \n\n\n\n\n\n-YPS Executive Committee and Workshop Committee\n\n\n\n\n

Prints are the final word for any photo artist who wants to pursue photography as a hobby or a profession. In fact\, prints and coffee-table books give the pleasure of seeing pictures with their originality and also bring back memories. It is a matter of pride for a photographer when he/she can convey his/her thoughts\, feelings and mood through the photo frames displayed at offices\, homes or hotels. A camera artist gets hooked to the art and the same happens with printing coffee-table books or prints of pictures captured. Printing is the best way of communicating and showcasing one’s masterpieces. There is not a single day in life\, one doesn’t see a photograph printed\, be it in newspapers\, magazines\, hoardings\, books\, pamphlets\, booklets\, wallpapers\, decorated walls and on any other medium.  \nThe world is changing and it is high time you should change with time. \nAbout the Presenter: Mr H Satish\, D.cine\, \nMFIAP\, MICS\, ARPS\, PPSA\, cMoL\, GPA.PESGSPC \nHe is the first Indian to be honoured with EFIAP and MFIAP in Nature colour prints and the youngest Indian to get MFIAP.
