My Experiments with Photojournalism

Date: March 12, 2009 Categories: Personal, Photoblog Comments: 2 Comments Share:

Ever since I started getting somewhere with my photography, I’ve wanted to do photojournalism. Its just something that I have been wanting to do for quite sometime now.

So after waiting for the right time to come along and waiting to see if I can get some “assignments” hooked up to do something, I have decided its time to start doing something on my own.

A couple of months back, Shilpa and I had decided to wake up early on weekends and go do a story on the street dogs in Bangalore, and that is one of the first few stories I would want to start with.

What I wanted from you guys is suggestions for stories that I can go shoot and write about in Bangalore. I am not looking for complicated month long projects, I would like suggestions for small projects that would possibly take me a couple of hours a week and help me hone my skills.

Also, if anything I do is of interest to you and you want to join in, or if you want to use anything that I do, please do write to me at mail at gauravvaz dot com and I’ll be more than glad to work with you!

    Hey Gaurav,

    You should make snapshots of the old buildings in Bangalore before it completely gets extinct. Some suggestions are Coffee house in MG Road, Koshys, Chickpet street..

    BTW, I love your photographs..Happy clicking :)

    Cheers,
    Daph

    Gaurav,
    To use the topic suggested prior to this requires a lot of research in advance…could i suggest easier topics like hot topics that are coming up?
    eg:
    1) The 20-20 world cup, or cricket fever in India
    2) Indian Summer, how some welcome it and others shun it
    2) Try something abstract also, cause i observed most of your snaps revolve around people.
