YPS Saturday Meet – OUR pro TRAITS

YPS Saturday Meet | Dec 17, Sat | 4:00 PM IST | State Youth Center

We all, literally everyone with a mobile camera, are photographers now. 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. 

This Saturday, let us learn how to shoot a decent portrait, self or of some good soul. 

Portraits 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!

Underwater Macro – taking oceans to people’s heart

YPS Saturday Meet | Dec 10, Sat | 5.30 PM | S2 E8 | On-line Meet

As a nature photographer, Mr Kedar Bhide always felt the need to create advocates for a species or a landscape or an ecosystem through his photographs, in order to highlight the sustainability and survivability of such elements from anthropogenic pressures. 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.”

YPS Saturday Meet – Timeless Portraiture

YPS Saturday Meet | Dec 03, Sat | 6:30 PM IST | State Youth Center

A journey into the world of classic portraiture – What do you think when you hear the word portrait? 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.
