It goes without saying that students specializing in fashion photography are always

looking for practical opportunities to learn. IIP has always endeavoured to offer its

students multiple avenues to experience the pleasure of photography whether it's

through outdoor classes, workshops or participating in photo exhibitions.

Recently, IIP students who are pursuing Dual Diploma in Photography and

specializing in fashion photography went on an outdoor fashion shoot to fine tune

various aspects and experience learning by doing. This outdoor fashion shoot was

conducted by IIP mentors at a farm house near Gurgaon. Apart from shooting with a

professional model, the other major highlights of this outdoor session were learning

the stages of an outdoor fashion shoot, various lighting techniques, co-ordinating

with the styling team and understanding the right make-up and hair style for

optimum results. Students also learnt about the importance of color pallet in

fashion shoots.

UM TO NUM TO N Photo Review

Mukesh Pawar is an IIPian, from 2015-16 batch student of Diploma in Photography. He is a passionate Product photographer and currently working with one of the finest Furniture export houses in Jodhpur. We are proud of him. We wish him a bright future and all success in life.

Visual communication is about sharing a story/message/information through the

pictures. One can have stand alone images but it is important to have something to say

with the pictures for the viewer to engage with it. For example, if we take the word

silence for a picture, then the same feeling should be evoked through the picture. Or

picture of a person should portray the characteristics and emotions of the individual.

Or a picture of place should focus on the architecture and geographical information.

Picture here, is more about the shapes and asymmetrical patterns. It does not strongly

emphasize on the architecture. Further it fails to establish the visual communication

element mentioned “Style”.

Take extra batteries

You never know how much time you will have to spend in the jungle to

get the shot that you want, so carrying extra batteries can ensure even

if it takes a lot of time, you will be ready to take the shot which might

appear in front of you.

Take high capacity memory cards

In wildlife photography, we tend to take a lot of photos, so having high

capacity memory cards is a must.

Shoot on Burst Mode

Set your camera to shoot on burst mode. Burst mode is required so

that you do not miss any action.

Anticipate the movement

You need to have good anticipation skills so as to read the movements

of the animals and keep track of them. This will ensure that you might

get a good sighting.

Have Patience

Last but not the least, to

become an exce l lent

wildlife photographer one

must have a lot of patience

as you never know for how

much time one will have to

wait to get one decent shot.

Shoot with higher Shutter Speed

Always Shoot with a higher shutter speed to get sharp clear pictures

of the animals or birds that you are shooting with long focal length

lenses.

Use the Right Gear

For shooting wildlife, some specific focal length lenses are required.

For Mammals, a minimum 300mm and for birds a minimum of

500mm focal length lenses are required. Make sure you have the

proper lenses to shoot the things you want.

Use Teleconverters

If you do not have that required focal length lenses, then one can use

Teleconverters which increase the focal length. Teleconverters

usually come with 1.4x or 2x magnification, that means if you have a

200mm lens and use a 2x teleconverter, you achieve a 400mm focal

length. The only drawback is that you loose approximately 2 stops of

light.

Use Shutter Priority or Aperture Priority modes

Since you never know where your subjects would be, in the bright

light or dark shady areas, using semi-automatic modes can be used

to make the process of taking and changing the exposure very fast.

Use Camouflage clothing

Use of camouflage clothing can drastically improve your sightings, as

the animals will not take notice of you. Wearing bright color clothes

alerts the animals from a very far distance.

1. Composition: Without over-lapping the glasses, would have

given a separation between the elements. Also avoiding

distortion due to overlap.

2. Keeping in mind a symmetrical background, the framing is not

balanced. It could be cropped. Also alighning the element in

center of the frame.

3. In post production, the reflections and fringing on the middle

glass could have be controlled.

4. By changing your angle of view slightly, refraction patterns could

have been more cleaner without jagged edges.

1. Composition is not balanced, as the picture has too much

of empty space on the right side of the frame.

Composition rule “rule of thirds” helps one balance the

frame giving the emphasis to the key subject in the frame.

2. Submission mentions caption as “Waiting for the end”.

Visually the emotional expression of the subject expresses

the same. However, when it comes to sharing a story of an

individual it is vital to portray the message true to reality.

3. In post production by keeping the contrast towards the

higher side, the tonal depth of the image is lost. As the

picture does not have good separation between the

shades of black and white, the image becomes flat.

The rebuttal from customer is “What is the point of using

a vaporizer if the windows are kept open? It would only

mean inviting more mosquitoes to come in”

The question here is - Is it possible to avoid the use of

mosquito repellants altogether?

We at IIP Foundation say “Why not”

Plants represent one of the most accessible resources

available for mosquito control by communities for

centuries and at IIP Foundation we believe that there

should be a continued use of this natural resource to add

value to the current mosquito and mosquito-borne

disease control strategies. Keeping this in mind we have

started a “Dengue Free Drive” and we invite all of you to

be a part of this drive. Artemisia is a natural herb that can

be kept at home, office, schools, institutions, hospitals

etc. for eliminating mosquito population. When a

mosquito sits on this plant and sucks its juice it affects his

nervous system and in turn it becomes ineffective to

breed further. You can place it both indoors or outdoors. It

is a therapeutic plant that will help to prevent yourself

and your loved ones from deadly diseases like

Dengue | Malaria | ZIKA | Chikunguniya

Apart from this, there are many other health benefits of

Artemisia as well. The plant is Anti bacterial | Anti Viral |

Anti oxidant | Helps control bronchitis and asthma

Artemisia emits a pleasant fragrance that will energize

your mind and body as well.

Human illnesses from mosquito-borne viruses are becoming

more common in India, even in areas where they have not

been reported before. The chance that you will fall ill from a

mosquito bite is high; however you can reduce your chances

of becoming ill by protecting yourself from mosquito bites.

There are basically two ways to prevent problems from

mosquito bites. The first is to control or reduce mosquito

population as much as possible.

The second prevention tool is to avoid being bitten by

mosquitoes. Mosquito repellents may keep mosquitoes at

bay, but excessive use of these products for long periods

could pose some serious health risks. According to the

National Occupational Health and Safety Commission, US, “

long-term use of Alithrin and Prallethrin, the two major

chemicals in these products, are hazardous to human health.

They primarily affect our respiratory and immune systems,

and in extreme cases, even our nervous system”. Smoke-

based mosquito repellents such as coils can trigger wheezing

attacks, especially in those who are prone to allergies and

asthma. Experts believe that excessive use of mosquito

repellent creams and lotions too must be avoided. “It is a

myth that these substances remain on the skin and so can't

have any adverse effects. Actually, lotions eventually get

absorbed into the body and enter the bloodstream. So the

safety of these products is also questionable.

The manufactures say, “If consumers adhere to the directions

of use as mentioned on the labels, there should not be any

problem. For instance, one should always use liquid

vaporizers with the windows open, and avoid excessive use

of lotions and creams”.

Iipians, capturing products with finesseProduct photography may seem simple to take, but this technical type of photography is much

harder to do well than you might think. A perfect product shot needs to properly display what it is

and convey its message.

We at IIP are making it easier for our students to do product photography through our unique step-by-step process.

We believe that the key thing with product photography is to show as much detail as possible, and this means

minimising the amount of bright highlights or distracting shadows in the frame.

with various institutions.

Students of DDPC had a vibrant time as they were either preparing their portfolios or

were busy with their internship programs. It is very satisfactory that we are able to

achieve paid internship to almost all the students who have submitted their portfolios.

Students were shooting at various locations in outdoor, studios and at SIMHASTA Ujjain

(KUMBH) as well. A wild life tour was also organised to Jim Corbett for students

interested in travel and wild life photography with Mentor Dhiraj Khatri.

Once again it's time to enroll batches for next session for which we have received quite a

number of references from existing students and also from India and abroad. We are

hopeful to receive good response this time as well. BFA in Photography will be

introduced for the students who are keen to pursue Photography as their professional

career with a style of their own. Here research will be the key, and IIP's curriculum will

be an answer to present international institutes in developed countries like USA,

England, Canada and Australia. This all is for one vision which is 'Affordable yet

internationally competent curriculum in India at competitive price'.
