The society introduces certificate course in photography in collaboration with Photographic Association of Dum Dum, a Kolkata based premier organisation imparting Photographic Education free of cost since 1957 and with generous support of the school authority of Khagra Gurudas Tarasundari Institution, Berhampore. This course is framed in such a manner and also in consultation with Photographic Association of Dum Dum, Kolkata that it can explore the artistic aspects, scientific foundations, and techniques of digital photography with the goals of enabling students to expand their knowledge of photography as an art form, to develop a deeper and broader understanding of the scientific basis of photography, to improve their photographic technique, and to effectively use photographic software tools.
Upon successful completion of the course, students can expect to take photographs with an intuition of the camera’s behavior, and its limitations, and an ability to think critically about light and the resulting appearance of a photograph.
Blessings and Good wishes for the Course
I am very pleased to learn that Photographic Society of Murshidabad (PSM) in collaboration with Photographic Association of Dum Dum is going to organise a “Certificate Course on Photography”.
Photography has been one of the most celebrated forms of art. Photography teaches people to appreciate the environment and nature and realize the beauty of even the simplest thing around such as a butterfly enjoying its newly harvested nectar in a flower resting on a fertile land.
It can also help you to be aware of what is happening in your environment and in the society. Photography also keeps you from thinking in a boxed manner. You will be able to see how some sort of system works. Photography will also allow you to be more creative in finding views and angles that would make something look as pleasing as possible. You would learn that there is really nothing ugly that can be found in nature.
You will be able to learn how to transform a scratch from something one would really treasure. Learning about this form of art can give you a lot of opportunities in the future. Unlike many popular career paths, the need for a photographer is one that will surely be always around. Photography would let you learn things about yourselves, what things are fascinating to you and what things appear not that enjoyable.
Lastly, photography can help in developing your well-being you will be able to meet people who will teach you to interact with others and most importantly, you will be able to see how beautiful the people you get to meet and the world you are living into are.
I wish all the students an enjoyable course.
