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  URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/basic-photography-workshop-may-2023/ LOCATION:Venkatappa Art Gallery\, Venkatappa Art Gallery\, Bengaluru\, Karnataka\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/YPS-Workshop-Basic-Photography-Workshop-May-13-and-14-at-VAG-Web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20230412T170000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20230412T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T012437 CREATED:20230412T145901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250210T132831Z UID:14837-1681318800-1681329600@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:Shoot\, Share\, Sync DESCRIPTION:YPS Saturday Meet | Apr 15\, Sat | 5:00 PM IST | State Youth Center\nThis practical shoot session is all about getting out of your comfort zone\, thinking differently and shooting creatively.

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.

Military aviation photography has something to do with national security as the flying machines operate in  classified airbases.  Unless\, the operators like IAF or IN or IA invites known contacts to photograph specific events\, the opportunities are quite slim.  However\, through proper approach\, one can obtain clearance for events like Air Force Day parades\, Aero India or public displays by IAF’s aerobatic teams. \nThe scene outside India is much better\, reasons  being simpler policies of respective design houses.  Thus\, the international air shows like singapore\, Dubai\, RIAT etc.\, have been more attractive. \nThe aim of this presentation has the sole purpose of underlining the difficulties and various aspects of photographing military planes. It hovers around the strict clearance process one has to go through. \n \nAbout the Speaker:  Mr Debadatta Maharana \nMr Debadatta Maharana is a graduate in Aeronautical engineering from Aeronautical Society of India and has done his masters in software systems engineering from BITS\, Pilani. Photographing military aircrafts has been a hobby which started in the year 2008.  He was handed  over a DSLR to take some photographs during one of his assignments and  he had no  clue on taking photographs of aircrafts. Journey continued and since then\, he has travelled to lots of air force stations across India and to a solo international airshow in Bahrain in 2016. During this journey he has  made friends from all ages of life starting from a young flight lieutenant fresh out of flying academy to Air Commodores and higher with bigger profiles. All thanks to the love to capture aircrafts. Being an aeronautical engineer\, the love for planes is natural and creating memories through  photographs gives satisfaction of highest order. \nFACEBOOK : Deb Rana \nINSTAGRAM : Deb Rana \nLanguage: English \nRequest everyone to arrive 15 mins early \n-YPS Executive Committee URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/insight-to-aviation-photography-in-india/ LOCATION:State Youth Centre\, State Youth Centre\,Nrupathunga Road\, Bangalore\, Karnataka\, 560001\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Events,YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/IMG-20230215-WA0005.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20230211T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20230211T203000 DTSTAMP:20260404T012437 CREATED:20230207T065221Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230209T143355Z UID:14374-1676136600-1676147400@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:Military Photography DESCRIPTION:YPS Saturday Meet | Feb 11\, Sat | 5:30 PM IST | S3 E 1| Google Meet\nCaptain Navtej Singh has been photographing the Armed Forces for over 15 years.

Each one of them had different stories to tell. Some were photographers\, some adventurous trekkers and some bike riders! Nevertheless\, everybody intended to visit Ladakh in their lifetime. I used to wonder ‘what there is in store for a photo artist like me?  ‘mera number kab aayega’? And lo and behold\,  I too got an opportunity to take some of my friends to a landscape photography workshop to ‘The Land of Lamas-LADAKH’. \nLadakh is a landscape lover’s paradise. January to December has different lighting for landscapes. I feel a trip to Ladakh is a religious trip for landscape photographers. The dream of every photo artist is to get these beautiful mountains in a different play of light. But hard work\, dedication and determination to get the best of images will make you want to come back to the mountains again and again! \n \nAbout the Mentor:       \nH Satish\nMFIAP\, MICS\, ARPS\, cMOL\, GPA.PESGSPC\, Hon.FICS\, Hon.CPE\, Hon. PESGSPC\, Hon.YPS\, Hon. ECPA; Hon.WPAI; Hon.SAP \nH Satish\, presently the president of YPS has a long career in photography.  He says “I am a crazy traveller\, and a prolific Art Photographer\, who loves to mingle with like minded friends and am a great foodie. I have been in the field of photography for  40 years\, and  a YPS member from 1981- thus completing 40 long years in this No.1 Photography Club of India. I am continuing my hobby and profession – Photography and love to share my images and little knowledge with those who seek.”  \nThe art of playing with light and presenting things ordinary in extraordinary perspective\, the portrayal of nature in its finest detail\, and to capture the various human emotions in all its glory is what distinguishes Satish.

Wedding photography is no more documenting the event…..Sujay Naidu\, CEO and Founder of MINCHU is set to demonstrate the Magic that Artificial Lighting can create in capturing weddings. Witness ‘Creativity at its Best’! \n \nAbout the Mentor:       \n\nSujay Naidu\n\n\nLights\, Camera\, MINCHU \nBehind the spellbinding magic of Sujay Naidu’s MINCHU  \n“Communication is a significant facet of great photography and is key to the execution of an unforgettable shot\,” declares Sujay Naidu\, CEO and Founder of MINCHU. \nAs a fashion photographer turned leading wedding planner\, Sujay Naidu is a man of many roles.  Doing whatever it takes to depict the beauty of his clients’ stories with a rare sense of artistic grace\, he seamlessly plays into the admirable qualities of a wedding photographer\, stylist\, light and art director\, mentor\, and client manager.  \nAs a master in the world of light manipulation\, Sujay Naidu believes in paying attention to the spontaneity of each minute and understanding the nuances of human relationships. \nMaking the switch from wedding photographer to planner in recent times\, he is well-versed in the intricacies of the arduous yet rewarding process.   \nWedding planning and production\, in the year of 2021\, seek to go beyond the surface\, break barriers\, and create eternally memorable moments.   \nFounded in 2009\, MINCHU\, a one-stop wedding destination\, strives to cater to the diverse needs of every bride and groom-to-be. \nAiming to bring in a personal touch to your big day\, they offer a wide range of end-to-end services that include\, but are not limited to – wedding planning\, décor and décor consultation\, photography\, and catering.  \nWhat differentiates the magic of MINCHU from that of their competitors in a saturated market\, you may ask?

From attending the initial meetings and carrying important conversations to building an itinerary and organizing extensively – I do my best to ensure my presence through all of these crucial points. This is something that sets us apart.” \nSo\, if you’re on a romantic getaway\, ready to pop the weighty question\, and are riddled with what the future holds\, sit back and relax.

However\, it is so that we do not have a good portrait of ourselves but only a passport photo taken ages ago which we keep circulating forever.  \nThis Saturday\, let us learn how to shoot a decent portrait\, self or of some good soul.  \nPortraits are not just about creating pixels and storing them in a storage device but a way to portray what and who the subject is\, in other words\, giving life to it. And we can only get/capture such portraits when we ‘know’ the person standing in front of the lens. So this session\, being the last session of 2022\, let us meet all\, understand each other and get to capture a good portrait or get captured! Don’t forget to bring your camera! \nAbout the Mentor:       \nHardik P Shah\n\n\n“My journey of photography started as a hobby which turned out to be my passion within a short span of time. 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/hardikpshah25\nhttps://instagram.com/hardikpshah25\nhttps://facebook.com/hardikpshah25\nhttps://vimeo.com/hardikpshah25 \nLighting Partner:\n \nOur Lighting Partner will be Godox.

He says “Many times what we miss out are the smaller things which are the building blocks for a whole package called NATURE.  Macro photography allows me to highlight these small and beautiful creatures with their amazing adaptability in their surroundings. When I spoke to some school kids about ‘Saving our oceans’ I found that their idea of the ocean is mostly limited to whales\, dolphins\, sharks\, seals and other mega fauna of the oceans. These are small efforts to create a deeper understanding of our oceans through macro photography.” \n\n  \nAbout the Presenter \nMr Kedar Bhide \nKedar Bhide is Managing Director at Nature Works (www.natureworksindia.com). The company is involved in Fine Art Archival printing\, Photography services\, Community Initiatives & Environmental services.

He has been instrumental in two first reports of snake species from India\, Sindh Awl Headed Snake from Rajasthan and Kaulback Pit Viper from Arunachal Pradesh. The work of Arunachal Pradesh was also featured in an Animal Planet Documentary called ‘When Bamboo Flowers’. He has also received a National Award for his work on snake conservation from Indian Herpetological Society. \nHis photography work has been used in many books and publications on wildlife and nature in India and abroad. He has been a judge for nature and wildlife themes in various photography competitions including Better Photography’s Photographer Of The Year\, for 5 years\, as well as Thane Mayor’s Photography Competition in 2016. He has also done a solo exhibition ‘Top\, Bottom & Everything in Between’ in October 2017 at Jehangir Art Gallery to showcase Biodiversity of India which was very well received.

A person or a face with an expression? Each face is different\, has a story and is on a journey. Only when you connect with the person in front of your viewfinder\, will you be able to narrate a story. Not all portraits are captured with a word\, smile or cheese but are captured without a word or giving direction to the subject. You make a portrait when they are ready to express their true self. Welcome to Mohan Krishnappa’s journey of portraits through his viewfinder. \n\n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker:            \nMr Mohan Krishnappa\n \nMohan Krishnappa was born on 3rd May\,1982 in Bengaluru. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Science and a Master’s in Information Technology. Currently\, he is working for an IT company as Solution Consultant. Being an introvert during childhood he was always silent and an excellent listener. He was interested in sports\, and painting and was part of the KSCA divisions 5 and 4 through a private cricket club during his college days. Later travelling and trekking in the Himalayas became a passion and he was introduced to landscape and wildlife photography through a friend. That was the best thing that happened to him along with an introduction to the world of DSLR cameras. Back in 2009-10\, he got to know about YPS through an article in the Deccan Herald newspaper and visited YPS at Yavanika\, State Youth Center and enrolled as a member. Thus hobby became a more responsible passion. He also enrolled on a 5-day workshop conducted by eminent photographer Mr Anand Sharan\, where he was introduced to portrait photography. This also helped him to break the introvert barrier as he had to interact with people to connect with them. He says\, “I still find my peace in forests not while photographing the elusive stripes\, but just to enjoy the raw beauty around\, sulk into myself and  just to breathe the fresh air.” Juggling between career and passion\, he has set up a small home studio for portraits and spends most of his time exploring the lighting setup on his wife and two-year-old daughter. Of late he is working on fine art painterly portrait editing and blending using overlays and textures. \nInsta handle:  md.art.studio \nWebsite:  www.mdartstudio.comLanguage: English URL:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/event/yps-saturday-meet-timeless-portraiture/ LOCATION:YPS Hall\, Youth Photographic Society\, Sree Kanteerava Stadium\, Bengaluru\, Karnataka\, India CATEGORIES:YPS Meets ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ypsbengaluru.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/YPS-Saturday-Meet-Web-1344x744-5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Youth Photographic Society":MAILTO:contactus@ypsbengaluru.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20221126T173000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20221126T183000 DTSTAMP:20260404T012437 CREATED:20221121T150802Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221122T144808Z UID:14081-1669483800-1669487400@www.ypsbengaluru.com SUMMARY:Vietnam - From Above and Below DESCRIPTION:YPS Google Meet | Nov 26\, Sat | 5.30 PM | S2 E7 | Google Meet\n  \nVietnam is a paradise for photographers.

This session will help the audience improve their travel photography skills. \n\nAbout the Speaker:   \nMr N. Vijayaraghavan \nN.

As is the case in many other forms of photography\, it is not just the pictures you get at the end of the day (end of night in this case!). The whole experience of spending long hours under star studded skies and collecting photons arriving from thousands and millions of light years away has no parallel. It has created a lot of interest in India among astronomy enthusiasts as well as photography hobbyists in the last few years. This session is an introduction to this fascinating field that presents endless possibilities. As the cliché goes\, this is a discipline where sky is the limit. Or should we say\, even sky is not the limit! \n\nAbout the Speaker:                                                                        \n \nMr. Chandrashekar G \nChandrashekar is into astronomy since 1980s and has wide experience in making and using telescopes. He is active in popularising astronomy through talks\, skywatching programs etc.\, at schools\, colleges\, astronomy seminars and even in the Bengaluru Planetarium.  \nHe started his astrophotography journey with manually driven equipment that looks almost comical in today’s high-tech world. Over the years he has acquired some sophisticated equipment that makes the Astro-life a lot easier. He would be speaking on the basics of deep sky astrophotography along with some of his learnings from years of doing astronomy. \n  \nSocial handles :  \nchandrainsky@gmail.com \nfacebook: Chandrashekar Gopalarao \n  \nLanguage: English \nDo join us on 12 November\, 2022\, 5:30 pm IST on Google Meet at the usual coordinates \nAlso request you to join the session 15 mins prior to check your audio and video functionality. \nThe session starts at sharp 5.30 PM IST \nHere is how to participate: \nClick here or visit the below Google Meet Link on the day of the event\nGoogle Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/iif-znku-vyt \nIn case of any issues in connecting to the meeting\, request to please call us on our official number by clicking here or simply dial: +91 9513-YPS-BLR (+91 9513-977-257) \nYou can also WhatsApp us by clicking here (or on the icon below) or by sending a WhatsApp message on the above mentioned official number. \n \nNote: Registration is NOT necessary and look forward to seeing you all this Saturday at 5:15 PM IST. \n\nSome salient features of YPS Saturday Meets: \n\nExclusively for Members.\nHear and be heard – These are interactive sessions and not talk shows.\nDiscuss and learn from real Member Pictures for absolute learning for every one.\nOpinion from experts and knowledge from everyone who wants to share.\n\nSome Google Meet Self-Disciplines to be followed to make the experience memorable for everyone: \n\nDo not interrupt when something is being presented.
