Composition is the placement of Graphic and Photographic Elements using Design Principles inside an Image Frame.
This Composition by Design workshop exposes you to the Theory of Composition in a structured manner. It is geared to assist in developing the Photographer’s Aesthetic Skills – to be able to apply basic composition techniques for creating a good photo. This workshop is for those who want to develop a strong understanding of the concepts of composition in photography using the principles of design. Through on-location assignments, you’ll be able to put into action the concepts learnt in the classroom and get feedback on how to improve your photography. In order to maximize your experience we will spend lesser time in getting to and away from the various places on the trip. We have taken utmost care in order to design this trip and activities that showcase these amazing aspects of the region. We know that your time is valuable and this trip means a lot to you and our trip design is a testimony to that. |
This trip is intended for photographers at all levels of expertise who want to enhance their photography skills in a way they never thought possible, in terms of composition techniques. There will be presentations, as well as critique of your work. And all this while you interact with fellow photographers in one of the most stunning and graphic architectural monuments located in Orchha.
For experienced photographers this is an opportunity to spend more time taking stunning photographs and not hunting for locations and bother with the logistics of organising and managing a trip. Accompanying Non-photographers: On this photo tour, you don't have to go alone. Since we'll be in the middle of the best action, in places where the rest of the family would love to go on a holiday. So they can come with you and go do their own thing (special activities for them) while we go shoot all day. |

ABOUT ORCHHA
The establishment of the Jehangir Mahal dates back to the 17th century A.D. when the then ruler of the region Bir Singh Deo built the structure as a symbol of warm reception of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, during the latter’s first visit to the city. Jehangir Mahal is a three storied structure that is marked by stylishly hanging balconies, porches, and apartments. Like other palaces in Orchha the Jehangir Mahal has a number of domes that are shaped like an onion. These domes cover the central courtyard of the palace. There are fourteen Chatrries or Royal Cenotaphs to the rulers of Orchha grouped along the kanchan ghat of the river Betwa.The 14 Chattries were constructed as a mark of respect for the imperial blue blood of the mighty rulers of Bundelkhand dynasty. Build in Indo-Mughal style, these three storey buildings are open to all sides and have nicely designed tops - domes or pinnacles. There is a fascinating tale behind the history of the Ram Raja Temple. This temple was at one point of time, a palace of the then ruler Madhukar Shah. Legend says that once Lord Rama appeared in his dreams due to which Madhukar Shah brought the idol of Lord Rama into the palace before installing it inside the temple. But for some reason the idol could not be moved from its original place in the palace. The ruler then remembered the bit of his dream where it was said that the idol would stay at the place it would be kept initially. It was then that the king turned the palace into a temple. The original place where the idol of Lord Rama was placed is the Chaturbhuj Temple. The history of the Chaturbhuj temple is associated with an interesting legend that imposes the faith of the people. It is said that Maharani Gansh Kunwar, wife of the Ruler of Orchha, Raja Madhukar built the temple for Lord Rama. She wanted to relocate the idol of Rama that was placed in Rani Niwas, her private apartment to the temple. But the idol refused to move. Thus, the king instead of Lord Rama, places the idol of Lord Vishnu, with four arms in the temple. That is how, the name Chaturbhuj temple was attained. More about Orchha. |
