Talent can be found anywhere and can be nurtured at any age. Among the gushing pine trees on top of the hills in town of Kasauli lies abundant talent. We Sprawl went to train this existing talent of one of the top schools in North India- Pinegrove School in Dharampur, near Kasauli. We Sprawl trained students in basics of photo journalism and documentary making through a four day workshop this month.
The workshop began with theory of basics of photojournalism and documentary making. Then they get hands on training with professional equipments like Nikon D-40, Canon 1100 and PD 177. Children clicked some amazing photographs, shot the documentary and suggested the story themselves. The documentary shot by them is at now editing stage.We Sprawl thanks Mr AJ Singh(headmaster), Ms Samiksha Singh, Head Administration (Sr. School), Ms Kiran Attri (principle) , Mr Vishal Gauri , Mr Sanju , members of staff and all the students for making this workshop a possibility.
