Introduction

Photography is much more than just having a camera and taking pictures. It is both an art and science. It is not just clicking the photographs. It reflects the vision of a person towards a subject. It is a gift to shoot what our eyes wishes to capture. Students in this photography club have opportunities to hone their skills by understanding and learning about what makes a good photograph, from composition to artistic expression. Members of this club will learn how to use state of the art software to edit and enhance photographic images for their own use, as well as for publication. All levels of experience are welcome and encouraged to explore this exciting side of the visual arts.

Photography is becoming a wonderful hobby and has proved to be very popular among the students. It is a journey of heliography, pinhole image to the digital mirrorless and drone cameras. This club is established to inculcate the passion towards photography and make it a congregational platform.
