A momentum workshop on ‘Capture the Right Moment’ photography’ was successfully hosted at Central University of Jharkhand (CUJ) recently under the umbrella of UNICEF on Campus Knowledge Initiative. The workshop was organized for the students enrolled in the Bachelors and Masters course of Mass Communication.
Inaugurating the workshop, Prof Sarang Medhekar, Acting Vice Chancellor of CUJ said, “Camera is an extension of the human eye. It’s a wonderful device for bringing change in the society. Media students should use this powerful tool ethically. I thank UNICEF Jharkhand for organizing the workshop for CUJ students.”
Dignitaries Attended the Workshop:
- Prof Dev Vrat Singh, Head of Department of Mass Communication, CUJ
- Kumar Premchand, WASH Specialist, UNICEF
- Priti Srivastava, Child Protection Officer, UNICEF
- Mr. Shyam Prasad, Photographer and lead resource person of the workshop
- Rajnesh Kumar Pandey, CUJ Faculty
- Dr. Vinay Bhushan, CUJ Faculty
During his session, Prof Dev Vrat Singh said, “Students should use their photography skills for betterment of the society. Photography does not mean only glamour and celebrity but its capturing stark/hard realities of common men as well.”
Kumar Premchand, WASH Specialist, UNICEF & Priti Srivastava, Child Protection Officer, UNICEF focussed on the social movement to create a Swachh and Surakshit Jharkhand for every child in Jharkhand.
Mr. Shyam Prasad, explained the technicalities of photography and editing to the participants. He led the ‘photo walk’ to the neighbouring villages of Rendo & Patratu in Chuttu Panchayat in Ranchi where the students captured images around the selected themes of sanitation and protection for every child in Jharkhand.
The photos taken during the photo walk were critically reviewed by the jury and selected photos exhibited during the workshop. These will also be featured in a Special Edition booklet being released towards the end of the year to mark UNICEF’s 70th anniversary.
