Photography - because of the creativity and diverse lifestyle - has become the most sought after profession for today's youths who look more towards non-traditional professions and jobs that offer them a break from monotonous lifestyles.

Working on similar lines, Epicentre is conducting a photography workshop for aspiring photographers of Gurgaon and Delhi who can get a chance to learn some fundamentals from professional photographer Dheeraj Paul.

The workshop will cover many fundamentals and technical aspects of photography which will include equipment and its handling, going beyond technicalities to understand light, composition and colours, shutter, aperture, depth of field, ISO / film speed, light, exposure and metering, and capturing perspectives.

The students will also learn this art through practice sessions and discussions which will make the approach to the subject very unique and refreshing. The workshop includes both indoor discussions and outdoor guided field sessions. This will be followed by a critical analysis of the photographs taken during the outdoor activity and a discussion on all advance features of modern digital cameras, starting from Point & Shoot, APS to Full Frame 35mm Sensor based cameras, will also be held.

Beginners will be taught 'Migration Process' in which they will learn how to move forward from shooting in auto mode to manual by knowing camera better. Mr. Paul will teach students how to analyze the light and master exposure and click best pictures.

Some aspects will also be covered like how to control various elements like aperture, shutter speed and aesthetics. The art of compositions will also be covered and maintaining balance, symmetry, viewpoint, distortion, and perspective will be also discussed in detail.
