Anchoring of this workshop is done by semester three's student Trushali Dodiya. We also gave invitations to the students of Life Science to join this session and they were happily joined in this workshop. 

Mr. Kaushik Ghelani, a wildlife photographer and storyteller by passion and by profession.He calls himself Aaranyak, a Sanskrit word that means a person who roams freely in the forest. That’s what he is and that’s what he does for the past 12 years. An observer at heart he started perceiving nature out of curiosity. Initially, he used to like roaming around farms and having delightful conversations about their Kheater with his father. They used to talk about changing seasons and migrating birds and whatnot.

 "From all the family conversations I started growing curious. And that curiosity took me to the jungle."

-Kaushik Ghelani 

This workshop is very interesting and important for us. In this workshop we got the idea of how to click a perfect photo and how one can see our photograph. According to him photography is not only a photo but it is a story. there are mainly two types of photographs which one can click that are like a photograph which taken by chance and another is a photograph which is taken by intention or a pre-planned.

He said that the photograph is divided into three parts.

1. Fore Ground

2. Mid Ground

3. Background

He also introduced us to various types of photographs. 

• Aesthetics of photography

• Golden point

• One third preposition

• Centre Focus Rule

• Symmetry [ mirror effect,

• Geometric shapes  shapes like round

• Leading lines :- unfinished lines are there
