Take that perfect shot

Show how the world looks through your eyes

The world is beautiful, vibrant and dynamic. But we don’t often see it the way it is. If you have a different view of the world, then capture it and show it to the world. If you wish to translate your thoughts into images, learn this art from PeeVee :)

Who’s Peevee:

  • A professional photographer for the past 7 years. Also been the official photographer for the Tour of Nilgiris last year.
  • Won critical acclaim from eminent personalities in the entertainment industry like Mani Ratnam, for his candid shots.
  • Has several corporate and commercial shoots to his credit.
  • Has lead more than 300 photowalks in and around Bangalore.
  • Has had his work featured at several prestigious exhibitions, shot and compiled coffee table books.
    Tamil Nadu Tourism
    Tour of Nilgiris Book
  • Peevee has earned himself several accolades and recognition for his work in the areas of street, people and travel photography.
  • See some of his other interesting work on Flick

What to expect:

Get guidance on what camera settings to use in specific situations, photography concepts like framing and composition, using real-world examples. Participants perform photography exercises which will help them achieve a deep understanding simply because they did it themselves, instead of just being shown what they should do.
