Bangalore Photography Race

Bangalore Photography Race which was held in September 2010 was the first of its kind. It was nothing but a platform to bring together people of varied cultures, art and literature of this maximum nation. An endeavor to bring together aspirations and hopes of a significant part of our lives by way of generating essentialities such as fitness and art. What is extremely essential is to note that the feature of this event is to enable the people of Bangalore to de-stress and adopt a healthy lifestyle by exploring within ourselves, all through the medium of photography and fitness.

However, in the world scavenged by the rampant advent of technology, it is seen that human perceptions have been conquered with the dominant presence of material wants and needs. In fact, it is beyond belief that not many Nobel laureates have written deeply about the beauty of photography in the way it permeates through our lives. Photography is an art of retrospection and the camera becomes an extension of the eye to perceive the world differently. It helps in ushering the aesthetics of how it is perceived from what is.

Using the format of photography and fitness, the BPR team is making an effort in conveying an implicit level of creativity that is predominant amongst the contemporary generation. There is an inert interest in all of us yearning for some sort of connect, love and acceptance to the point of being addicted to it. The concept is to very carefully shoot and frame all the photographs capturing the city of Bangalore in all its shades and hues. Any mention of the event without the participants would be incomplete. Everyone was seen sinking their teeth into their roles and responsibilities of the torch bearer, the innovator, the leader! It is popularly said that a good picture is equivalent to a good deed. Hence it is important that the photographs throw a bunch of eclectic characters ranging from automobiles to buildings to people to dust and dirt.

In the end, photography is a form of art that will appeal only to those who appreciate it and stresses on the way it explores what the eye just glanced.
