The exhibit called – Exposure – featured the artwork of twelve photographers who caught everything starting from portraits to landscapes to events throughout the country. Pema shared snaps from her tour to India on a Buddhist pilgrimage. During her visit, she went to one of India’s poorest states – Bihar.
She told that one could see the pain in people’s eyes. It is sorrowful, but colorful and smiley. Some people love to smile in spite of poor condition. Mot of the artists featured in the exhibit are not photography minors or majors. The Photography Club pulls in people from all disciplines and majors ranging from engineering to journalism, stated Pooja Kolluri, the president of the club.
Kolluri, who is a School of Arts and Sciences junior, stated that the club is really just a good place to invent your interests as well as have a good time. The club begun so long ago that no members can call up the exact year or time. Also, this used to be strictly for photography majors, but now it has expanded to include all those who really have a good love for the art, stated Jeff Mart, the vice president of the club.

Mary McCartney speaks about photography
One day, Mary McCartney was flicking TV channels when she came across an episode of US sitcom Will & Grace. In the show, Will attends a charity auction and gets a portrait session along with a celeb photographer named Fannie Lieber, that is played by Glenn Close.
Forty three year old Mary laughed hard as she recalled the plot of the show. Her approach to clicking snaps is just about as far removed as possible from Fannie Liebers’. She told that she always try to make a connection with the person she is photographing. She added that she does not want to just come away with a shot that she think is interesting.
It is a sensitive and empathetic approach to photography, but this is one which offers some beautiful results. Subjects, mainly celebs, appear to relax when Mary McCartney turns her camera on them. The pictures often feel genuinely spontaneous and intimate, as if we are peering in on an unguarded and private moment. Mary McCartney has choosen around fifty of her favorites for a mid career retrospective – named Developing, which opens this week in Manchester’s Lowry in Salford Quays.
Mary tells that her mom was quite a wanderer. She had a sense of cheekiness and adventure to her that is something she like and that she attempt to take into her style of work. Once she went for an Indian lunch and she grilled her mom about her early career in photography and mainly about the people she was hanging out with.
