TAG: KWS110508STREET


This time we took a bold step in KWS we decided to shoot streets and life on streets.Chances of getting subjects were minimal coz we dont have any clear idea what we r going to have but still we decided upon it. As decided we met in front of Birla Planetorium at 7:00 A.M. sharp.We ventured into the streets of that area hunting our subjects.It was a tough experience and all people were not that camera friendly as our dear friend Anirban got badly abused by a old footpath dweller whom he tried to shoot.We still continued our venture till 9:30 a.m. in the morning then we pushed of to Lytton Hotel where we were supposed to have a seminar with Visage Images regarding stock photos.The Content head of VisageImages Mr.Arvind Chenji took the briefing session along with there Eastern Zone sales head Mr.Saurabh and very well explained us what stock images are really whats in the market and whats in deamand,and other legal aspects......it was a great session and we learnt alot from it. The session was followed by a huge breakfast and they stuffed us pretty badly. From there most of the members left we few people went to Bose Pacia to see a exbition by some of the eminent photographers on "Plural Perspective" that was a relly good show featuring photos of eminent people like Bresson,Raghu Rai,etc.
Above all it was a great experience and will look forward to do something like this more often.
