Every year on August 19, photographers and photography enthusiasts worldwide come together to celebrate World Photography Day. The day honours the art, science, and history of photography — a medium that has the power to freeze time, evoke emotions and tell stories. This year, Visakhapatnam marked World Photography Day with photography exhibitions, bringing together the city’s vibrant photography community.
Vizag Photowalkers A community of both present and past students of the Diploma in Photography programme at Andhra University, Vizag Photowalkers organised a two-day photography exhibition at Hawa Mahal. The exhibition featured works of both emerging and established photographers, each bringing their unique perspective to a variety of themes. From black and white portraits to serene landscapes of untouched wilderness, the exhibits offered a glimpse of a variety of geographies, culture, heritage and lifestyle.
Visitors also interacted with the photographers at the venue during the two-day exhibition. The exhibition was inaugurated by Kalpana Kumari, managing director of Girijan Cooperative Corporation and G Veni Kunche, District Tourism Officer.
