1. Date: December 5, 2016
Title: When Not to Photograph
Conducted by: Prabir Purkayastha
Registration Fee: Rs 1000
Subject: Digital technology has gifted the pleasure of ‘pressing the shutter’ to everyone. So, how can serious practitioners & ardent students of photography stay afloat & thrive in the digital age?
How do you ‘create’ a photograph vis-à - vis just take a picture? Between the multitude photography theories of ‘Do’s’ & ‘Don’t’s’ & countless reams of tutorials & ‘professional’ advice lies the grey world of ‘when not to photograph’. And, it is the exploration of this nebulous state, which every photographer faces, but rarely journeys into, which will, hopefully, help liberate the ‘mind’s eye’.

Title: Gaze-Ungaze: Street Photography
Conducted by: Parthiv Shah

While familiarizing the participants with the aesthetics, the workshop will try to defamiliarize the conventions of 'street photography' by contextualizing the various socio-cultural aspects of the practice.
