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.

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 excellent
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.

On May 26 1895, famous American documentary
photographer and photojournalist Dorothea Lange was
born. She is best known for her Depression-era work for
the Farm Security Administration. Lange's photographs
humanized the consequences of the Great Depression
and influenced the development of documentary
photography
Every May since 1987, the United States celebrates
National Photography Month. Throughout the country,
photography contests, festivals, exhibits, and other
activities mark this month. It also represents a time of
reflection on the history of photography and how far it has
grown.
One of the biggest celebrations of the month takes place
at the Los Angeles Convention Center from May 17-18.
This Big Photo Show offers photo enthusiasts an
opportunity to see, touch, try, and buy photo equipment
from top manufacturers, learn picture taking tips from
professionals, discover the newest ways to display images,
and more.

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”.

11. Iipians, capturing products with finesse
Product 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.

Maulik Bharat Trust, Sepia Advertising and Dialogue India magazine. You will also see results
of CULTURAL VALUES OF INDIA Photography Contest organised in association with World
Photography Club. We have also sponsored various other events pan India in association
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'.
