. . . Nikhil Bahl will present ..."Creative Interpretations"

Nikhil 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. His 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. 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 the Digital Photo Academy. 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." To view Nikhil's work please visit Nikhil Bahl.

Nikhil's presentation for our September meeting:

Photography is all about interpretation. From subject selection, to focal length, shutter speed and aperture, to camera placement, post-processing, a photographer makes many decisions that interpret the subject. A photographer can show the subject in an atypical manner that may challenge the viewers perceptions or by delving into the abstract the viewer can be left guessing as to what the subject really is. In his presentation, Nikhil Bahl will take you into the realm of conceptualizing and interpreting the scene that is to be captured by the creative photographer.
