MINDSCREEN
FILM INSTITUTE,
Chennai, a venture of Rajiv Menon, Director-Cinematographer, besides its
regular courses on Cinematography and Screenwriting, is coming up with a four
days’ workshop at Pondicherry “HERITAGE,
STREET & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY “from 2nd to 5th April 2015.
It’s a 4 days full time workshop, an
opportunity to aspiring candidates who have a passion and desire for
photography, to gain a deeper appreciation of one's creativity, explore
effective avenues of Photography, discover and develop skills for better image
projection, tricks and techniques of effective photography. The workshop is
designed for a wide range of audience ranging from individuals with interests
in Photography for any professional willing to explore what goes into the
creation of beautiful landscape, Heritage images, from sweeping panoramas to
capturing intimate street scenes. You will receive an in-depth study of
landscape composition concepts and techniques, helping you create and capture
your creative vision of the amazing street scenes we visit. We will review
everything from equipment and exposure settings, to how to find those stunning
places and “work” a scene. During the workshop we will cover most all aspects
of landscape, Heritage and street photography.
The Philosophy behind the workshop has
been to awaken the creative photographer hidden in many people who have not had
the opportunity to explore photography as a career. These are people who love
taking pictures but have been baffled by the technologies involved in digital
photography, or those who are inspired by the beauty of what they see but are
frustrated that they cannot transform that experience into a great picture. The
workshop is meant to guide such people and give them a start in the right
direction.
