Member's Gallery and Forum
March 23rd, 2010 - Forum: Nikhil Bahl - Creative Interpretations
Creative Interpretations Photography is all about interpretation. From subject selection to focal length and deciding where the camera is placed, a photographer makes many decisions that interpret the scene. When we talk about photography as art, we refer to photographs that go beyond the documentary. These photos show the subject in an atypical manner and sometime even challenge our perceptions by delving in the abstract. Nikhil's presentation will concentrate on these creative interpretations. BIO: Nikhil Bahl likes to capture nature's poetry via the art of photography. While his primary interest remains nature photography, he has photographed corporate events, award functions, weddings, and has even delved in portraiture and studio photography. Nikhil leads location workshops and photo tours. He teaches photography at the Metropolitan Center for the Visual Arts (VisArts), in Rockville, Maryland, Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia and was recently recruited by Digital Photo Academy as one of their DC area instructors. He believes that trying to impart a fresh perspective is the biggest challenge in photography. His instruction is focused on in-camera interpretation and developing personal vision rather than simply following "the rules". Nikhil's work has been published on post cards, greeting cards, posters, newsletters, magazines and web sites. His fine art prints are part of many private collections and have been in several exhibits in the Washington Metropolitan area. While he does most of his photography in the DC area, his travels have taken him around the country. He is also a volunteer photographer for the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Please visit www.NikhilBahl.com for more. The Forum will be presented after the Members Gallery Presentation on Tuesday March 23rd 2010.
