Weekend coming up. Usual plan: movies, shopping, relaxation! Unusual plan: 2 whole days capturing “wild” moments at the Bannerghatta National Park. Sounds interesting? Read on.
iReboot is back with its wildlife photography workshop, the only one in the city to combine a truly outdoor experience with the chance to learn from the best in town. Here’s what you could expect.
A 30 hour module where you will:
* learn the technicalities of using your camera (SLR or any other)
* go on safaris and capture wildlife
* be mentored by one of India’s finest photographers who has contributed to NatGeo
* connect with people with similar passion
* rejuvenate yourself in the midst of wildlife
To ensure that you don’t miss out on any of the action, we figured you’ll have to be a full-time photographer for two days, and so the residential format.
The best part: it doesn’t stop there. Here’s more you can look forward to after the workshop.
Monthly follow up meets- where you can meet all the previous batch participants as well and learn from each other’s experience
Photography assignments – to ensure we keep the fire within you alive, you get exclusive access to paid/unpaid assignments
Event opportunities - with iReboot’s extensive reach and involvement in events, we provide in house opportunities to cover events.
Tie-up with photography magazines- iReboot is a platform which constantly endeavors to promote your talent in various forums like “Better Photography” magazine.
Exposure to other photography initiatives- these could be anything from complimentary fashion photography classes to lectures by other photographers, etc.
Take a look at some of our participant’s work from earlier workshops.
With the monsoons just easing off, catch nature in its most pristine form.
Come. Click. Capture.
