The Indian Photo Festival organised by Aquin Mathews and his team is one of the most enjoyable photography festivals one can visit. There is always a great deal to learn and observe.
For Blackforest camera bags, being a brand which creates camera bags by combining an artful approach yet maintaining a sophisticated charm, it was just natural to partner with them as a sponsor for the awards which are presented to the winners of the contest. Winners are absolutely creative, unique and outstanding in their work. You cannot beat the competition so easily. The selection criteria to display the work on the walls, to the online world is a tough job taken up seriously by the organisers.
That is undoubtedly of utmost importance since it's the visual excitement which takes over you while you browse through the gallery. It always inspires you to get out and get creative. It makes you look at the world from a very different perspective. It shows you what a pleasantly strange world we live in, so much to discover.
Its a non profit initiative of Light Craft Foundation and this festival has been the longest running festival in India. It showcases photography not only from India but also from all over the world.
The IPF creates a platform for professional and aspiring photographers, photography lovers and the public, promoting the art of photography and at the same time addressing social issues through the medium of photography.
If you are in Hyderabad and the festival is on, its a must visit!
