We embarked on a captivating exploration into the realm of photography, led by the seasoned guide Kaushik Ghelani. The s
ession, stretching from noon until 4 PM, overflowed with profound insights and creative revelations. Divided into two segments, the workshop attracted participants not just from our department but also from the Life Science Department, contributing diverse perspectives to enhance the overall experience. Join me as we delve into the valuable wisdom and techniques generously shared with us during this enlightening workshop.
The workshop had two parts. First, Kaushik sir taught us how to really look at things, focusing on the beauty of what we see. He explained the rules and angles of taking pictures. Then, in the second part, we practiced what we learned by taking photos around the campus. After an hour, Kaushik sir looked at our pictures, gave us tips on how to make them better with small changes, and asked us to think about the meaning behind each photo.
Session 1:
In the workshop, Kaushik Ghelani explained there are two types of photos: ones you take by chance and others you intentionally plan. He said anyone can teach you how to use a camera, but true photography is more than that. Sir also talked about editing tools and websites for sharing photos. He shared two important rules: always keep your eyes open and learn how to see things. The first part of the workshop focused on teaching us how to take photos, covering different techniques.
Sir made it clear that anyone can show you how to use a camera, but not everyone can teach you the real essence of photography. He then discussed different tools for editing pictures and websites where we can share our photos.
He shared two important rules for making photos look good:
1. Always keep your eyes open.
2. Learn how to see things.
These rules aren't just for photos but also for other kinds of art.
In the first part of the workshop, he taught us how to take pictures. He talked about different ways to make photos interesting, like the Rule of Thirds (imagine dividing your photo into three parts), finding the best point in your photo, focusing on the center, making things symmetrical, using shapes, paying attention to lines, leaving space around people's heads, and making some things in the photo look closer or farther away.

1.Rule of 3rd( 1:3 preposition)
The Rule of Thirds is like giving your photo some space to breathe. Kaushik Ghelani explained it by breaking the picture into three parts. One part is for your main subject, and the other two parts are for everything else. It's like creating layers in your photo:
1. Front Layer (Foreground):This is like the front part of the photo, where you put something important.
2. Middle Layer (Middle ground): This is the middle part, where you can add more details or your main subject.
3. Back Layer (Background):The last part is like the background, where you can have more stuff to make the photo interesting.
So, it's not just about the main thing; it's about how everything in the picture works together.
2 .Golden point
The Golden Point is like a magic spot in your photo that makes it look really good. It helps us decide where to put important things in a picture to make it look the best. Kaushik Ghelani showed us some pictures to explain this rule. It's like finding the perfect place for the main things in your photo to make it super attractive.
3.Centre focus rule
The 'Center Focus Rule' suggests putting the main thing right in the middle of the picture for balance. But it's cool to know that sometimes breaking this rule can make your photos look really interesting and cool. Kaushik Ghelani showed us some pictures to explain this idea. It's like playing around with where you put the main stuff in your photo to make it different and exciting.
4.Symmetry
Symmetry is like making your photo look the same on both sides, just like a mirror. It creates a really cool and interesting look in your picture. Kaushik Ghelani explained this technique, and it's like making sure both sides of your photo are balanced and equal, giving it a unique and eye-catching effect.
5.Geometrical shapes
Geometric Shapes in photography are like using basic shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles to build the picture. Kaushik Ghelani explained that these shapes are like the building blocks of a photo, and they help make the picture interesting and structured. It's like adding simple shapes to create a strong foundation for your photo.
6.Learning lines
Guiding lines are like invisible paths in a photo that lead your eyes to the main thing. They're kind of like arrows that show you where to look. Kaushik Ghelani explained that these lines help guide people's attention to the most important part of the picture. It's like having roads in your photo that take you to the main spot you should focus on.
7.Head/Leading room
Giving the subjects some room to look in a photo makes it feel more interesting. It's like letting them have space to breathe and look into the distance. Kaushik Ghelani explained that this trick adds a cool and three-dimensional feel to the picture. It's like making sure there's enough space for your subjects to look into and not feel cramped in the photo.
8.Depth of field
Depth of field means how much of the photo looks clear and sharp. Kaushik Ghelani showed us some pictures to explain this idea. It's like deciding if you want everything in the photo to be super clear or if you want only one part to be sharp, making the rest a bit blurry. This technique adds a cool effect to the photo, and it's like playing with what you want to stand out in your picture.
During lunch, we had a fun challenge: we had to take five cool pictures of anything we liked. After lunch, Mr. Ghelani looked at all our pictures in the next session. If our photos had awesome camera angles and looked really beautiful, we could win prizes. It was like a little contest to see who could take the most amazing pictures.
Session 2:
In the second part of the workshop, Mr. Ghelani looked at our pictures and praised the ones that were really great. Avni Jani from our group got the first prize, and Drashti Joshi got the third prize. Someone from the Life Science Department got the second prize.
We want to say a big thank you to Mr. Ghelani for sharing his super helpful tips and spending his time teaching us about photography.
