Message from one of our participants

I would like to share few photos from day 2 when we went to the beach.

These few days has been very important to me.

Gabrielle and Andreas have been a huge inspiration.

Their explanations and discussions are selfless and strengthens everyones individuality as a photographer according to me. 

Gabrielle's concept works gave me hope, as i was myself was dying to do conceptual photography.

As a photographer i like to shoot only when i get inspired by anything around me.

this workshop and discussions made me realize documentation of events is also an responsibility of photographers, and has added an important value to my work.

iam also thankfull to the sessions with the NGOs and Police which made be understand the depth of the topic, and the ideas that came to me afterwards were so strong. 

i feel blessed to be a part of the workshop.

Iam trying my best to bring my conceptual photographs to life.

My Sincere thanks to Goethe and Art Chennai for their support to upcoming photographers.

 Warm regards,

Vickram Dhayalan
