Award-winning Wildlife Photographer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n“Photography is at its most powerful when style flair and content originality come together\,” says Jayanth. \nJayanth took up serious photography in 2004\, and after gradually moving out of his day job to pursue his passion full time\, co-founded Toehold in 2010 and especially since then\, has been a prolific producer of consistently stunning imagery — the kind that is planned in a studio and executed outdoors. Effortlessly combining natural history and fine-art elements\, Jayanth brings back rarely seen perspectives from the little-visited domains and far corners of the natural world. \nBehind Jayanth’s awe-inspiring work are a fierce commitment to nail the composition in the field\, an assiduous abstinence from digital manipulation\, a nearly devotional love for quality\, and zero appetite for compromise. Jayanth uses the strengths of his tools to his immense advantage\, creating powerful vignettes of optical excellence designed to pamper the aesthetic corner of a nature lover. \nTravelling is oxygen for Jayanth\, and he wants to explore all possible natural hotspots of the world while he’s on the planet. His unique expertise in photographing in a truly eclectic range of wilderness areas – from Southeast Asia to Canada\, Brazil to Norway and East Africa to eastern Russia\, is supplemented by his immense experience in the Indian Subcontinent. Having worked in the mighty Himalayas\, the unexplored Northeast\, the secretive South and the tiger havens of Central India\, Jayanth is a homegrown photographer gone totally global. \nParticipants of his Photo Tours find in him not only an acutely brilliant mentor but also a sparkling inspiration to conceive and execute images they had hitherto probably never imagined. Add to this the distinct brand of humour with which he spreads cheer during his events\, and you know why people seek his company as much as the fountain of photography expertise he carries so lightly on his illustrious shoulders. \nAwards Mr. Jayanth has won: \nFinalist – Saevus Nature’s Trailblazer Assignment\nHonourable Mention – Global Arctic Awards 2014\nHighly Honoured – Nature’s Best Photography Windland Awards 2016\nSpecial Mention – Better Photography Contest 2008\nSpecial Mention – Sanctuary Asia Wildlife Awards 2008\nSecond Prize – DJ Memorial Photography Contest 2018\nThird Prize – Sanctuary Asia Wildlife Awards 2007 \nSee more of Jayanth’s work at:\nwww.wildlifetimes.com \nAbout Toehold\n \nToehold is India’s numero uno travel and photography company\, offering high-quality photography-oriented travel and other services. \nAs India’s first full-fledged photography-equipment-rental service and leading provider of Photography Workshops\, Photo Tours\, Kids Events\, Camera Rentals and Personalised Vacations\, Toehold is a one-stop shop for photography professionals and enthusiasts alike\, serving as a catalyst of excellence to help thousands discover the joy of travel and self-expression.

SUMMARY:Glassware Photography Workshop - 2 by Vinod Sunder
DESCRIPTION:YPS Workshop | May 26 | State Youth Centre\nYPS takes pleasure in announcing  a second workshop on “Glassware Photography” due to overwhelming demand.\nThe workshop would involve in giving plain glassware a colorful touch and also defining its shape in eye catching borders. It will also give an insight to the artistic power of refraction created by liquids in the glassware. The glassware that will be used will be mainly wine glasses and also regular glasses used on a dining table. Mentor for the workshop will be Mr. Vinod Sunder\, a hobbyist photographer with a keen interest in tabletop photography.. \n \nAbout the Workshop\nParticipants will be tutored on the set up and all the gear that will be required for this genre. Backgrounds also play an important role and the material needed to achieve this will be revealed. As this would be more of an indoor form of photography\, we would encourage participants to experiment with the knowledge gained in their respective homes. Emphasis will be laid on the usage of flashes as they play a major role in this genre of photography and in “off” camera. This is further related to the usage of ‘wireless triggers’ to activate the flashes remotely. Participants will also understand about the setting up of the camera when using flashes. This workshop will also “throw the floor open” to all participants to shoot glassware under the guidance of the mentor. \nWorkshop Schedule\n\nWorkshop Overview: 9:30 am to 10:00 am\n\nIntroduction\, discussion of expectations and agenda.\n\n\n Slideshow by Mr. Vinod Sunder: 10:00 am to 10:30 am\nSetup Explanation: 10:30 am to 11:00 am\n Demonstration 11:00 am to 11:30 am\nShooting Session:  11:30 am to 1:30 pm\n\nBright Field (2 Setups)\nDark Field (2 Setups)\n\n\nLunch Break: 1:30 pm to 2:15 pm\nShooting Session : 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm\nQuestions and Open House: 4:30 pm to 5:00 pm\n\nImportant Information about the Workshop\n\nParticipants will be required to bring the following:\n\nA DSLR camera (ensure battery is fully charged and carry battery charger)\nRecommended lenses (any one): 35mm prime\, 50mm prime\, 18-55mm\, 18 – 140mm\, 55 – 200mm.\nFlash and Radio Triggers (carry extra batteries and ensure all the batteries are fully charged and carry battery charger)\n\n\nYPS will Provide:\n\nGlassware\nTables\nBackdrops\n\n\n\nFees & Registration\n\nLimited Registrations: 20 only\nWorkshop Fee for YPS members is Rs. 1500/- per person.

He was not totally new to a camera and had dabbled with a Minolta SLR and Sony point-and-shoot digital cameras but more for casual photography. He had served in the Merchant Navy for 33 years and after his retirement in 2010 he decided that he needed a hobby or two to keep him occupied since he was not keen on a day job. \nAfter seeing a relative with a Nikon\, he took the plunge and became a ‘Nikonian’ too. Then began the decision of what genre to settle for as a main interest. Having pored over hundreds of photographs in 1x.com\, 500px.com and Flickr\, still life and tabletop photography caught his eye and he decided it was the genre he would give preference to\, but with options for other genres open as well. \nHe is a self taught photographer when it comes to still life & tabletop photography as nobody in Bangalore was conducting workshops in this genre. Google helped him a lot in finding topics and tutorials and so did YouTube videos. This is where he discovered what ‘dark field’ and ‘bright field’ lighting was all about and it played a major role when photographing glassware. Still life photography involves using everyday objects within the house and all it needs is some good arrangements to create good composition. Fruits\, vegetables\, earthenware\, wooden kitchen items can contribute towards creating impressive still lifes. Given the fact that the photography was restricted to indoors\, space constraints in an apartment was a bit disadvantageous but achievable after moving furniture to create the space needed. Just a DSLR was not sufficient and his ‘arsenal’ saw the entry of soft boxes\, flashes\, wireless triggers\, backdrops\, light stands\, studio lights\, gels\, reflectors\, tripods\, monopods and Eneloop batteries. \nThe best publicity he achieved was when a few of his photographs were featured in the March 2016 issue of ‘Smart Photography’. He has uploaded many of his pictures in 500px and most of them have gained the ‘popular’ status. \nHis other hobby is woodworking and he even fabricated a tall cabinet to store all his indoor photography gear. When indoor photography ‘takes a back seat’ he pursues woodworking which has led him to acquire a fair number of power tools. He mentions that living in an apartment has forced him into using a larger balcony as his workshop. \nHe adds that even though tabletop photography can be a bit challenging due to setting up of equipment\, the end result is very satisfying. One does not need a high end camera or lenses and even entry level gear can produce good results. He has restricted himself to a Nikon D7000 and some mid-range lenses and they have been serving him well. Vinod says he will continue with his passion for still lifes for a long period but is also keen to experiment with landscapes\, slow shutter speed and time lapse photography. \nVinod says\, “Still life photography involves using everyday objects within the house and all it needs is some good arrangements to create good composition.  Fruits\, vegetables\, earthenware\, wooden kitchen items can contribute towards creating impressive still lifes.”
