I never really thought about World Photography Day or even knew there was one, until I participated in it at school. The guests were experienced in their fields and their words of encouragement was profusely appreciated. The gallery display was amazing. Photography as an art, science and career began to take shape in my head. It was a truly enthralling and awing experience. – K. Amodini, XII
This is the first time I‘ve attended a celebration on World Photography Day. I learnt a lot of new things from the guests and had so much more exposure about the art of photography. There were many students who participated and won prizes for their candid photographs. I am glad that I could attend the grand celebration and learn a lot about photography. – Kamya Sarma, XII
