YPS Saturday Meet | Monochrome Photography | YPS Hall
Presentation and Talk by: Satish H
Monochrome photography forms the basis of strong visual understanding across genres. In this session, Satish H draws from over 45 years of experience in black-and-white photography to discuss tonal gradation, subject choice for monochrome, and developing discipline in processing. The talk highlights how to interpret color scenes in black and white and understand where to stop so that processing enhances rather than overwhelms an image.
Join us for a focused session that aims to deepen your monochrome vision and strengthen your photographic practice.

Embark on a captivating 3-day street photography journey through Kolkata, the timeless “City of Joy.” From the vibrant chaos of Mullick Ghat Flower Market beneath the iconic Howrah Bridge to the riverside akharas where wrestlers practice traditional kushti, this tour immerses you in the city’s rich culture, energy, and human stories. We’ll explore the sacred Ghats of the Ganges, the colorful Pet Market, and the ever-dynamic New Market, offering endless opportunities to capture authentic moments, light, and emotion.
Our journey also takes us into Kumar Tuli, Kolkata’s historic potters’ quarter, where artisans craft stunning clay sculptures in narrow, atmospheric alleys. Along the way, we’ll document everyday life—from steaming cups of kulhad chai and vintage yellow taxis to serene riverfront scenes at dusk. More than a photography tour, this is an opportunity to refine your storytelling skills, develop your creative eye, and experience Kolkata’s unique soul alongside fellow photographers. Join us for this unforgettable visual adventure and capture the magic of Kolkata through your lens.

There’s something magical about autumn in Japan—the way maple leaves burn red against ancient temples, how golden light filters through centuries-old cedar forests, and the surreal stillness of Mount Fuji reflecting in a quiet lake.
This Japan Autumn Photo Tour takes you deep into the heart of it all. From the cultural treasures of Kyoto—where geisha alleyways and Zen gardens glow with fall color—to the spiritual serenity of Wakayama’s sacred mountains and Ise’s revered shrines, every step is designed to ignite your creativity. And of course, no journey is complete without capturing the breathtaking beauty of Mount Fuji at sunrise, wrapped in autumn’s golden hues.
Whether you’re building your photography portfolio or simply craving inspiration, this tour is more than a photo trip—it’s a chance to connect with Japan’s soul through your lens.
