Odisha Tribal Photo Tour

Overview

The aim of our photographic journeys is to develop photographic abilities and a personal vision to create emotionally charged images that come to express the particular viewpoint of each participant. Creating images must go beyond the mere “capture”. The way to communicate the vision is through a systematic approach to reality. Managing the technique is important, but attaining an individual viewpoint is what is most interesting in these expeditions. Being able to create a lyrical vision rather than being a mere witness to what happens in front of our camera.
