#AvTvISO events during lockdown “AvTvISO in Conversation with Mr. Riccardo Busi & Dr Barun Sinha” has been featured in FIAP News (FIAP’s monthly journal)-Nov2020 issue!
Do you know this was the first time both of them joined such an online event in India with AvTvISO?
The article reads:
AvTvISO, an ILFIAP club from India, conducted virtual connect sessions with two stalwarts in the world of photography
during the month of July 2020 in an effort to continue the pursuit of excellence in photography.
Dr. B.K. Sinha, Honorary Secretary General of Federation of Indian Photography and FIAP Liaison Officer for India joined the team’s meeting on the 11th of July 2020 and Mr Riccardo Busi, the President of Federation Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP) was in conversation with AvTvISO on the 25th of July 2020. Both these events were granted “Auspices De La FIAP”, a prestigious honour for international photographic events conferred by FIAP.
These virtual connect sessions were a great learning opportunity for over 100 photographers and members across India and other parts of the world. In the first event, Dr. B.K. Sinha, a urologist by profession and a photographer by passion, spoke about his journey from “prostate to portrait”. He spoke about his experiences in photography where he travels the world capturing natural history as it unfolds before him. It was an honour for all the attendees to get an opportunity to interact with the man who spearheads the photographic community in India and hear him share his experiences from the past and his take on the future of Indian Photography.
In the second event, Mr Busi recounted how fate led him to be associated closely with FIAP over 20 years ago. He shared his vision and some exciting plans for FIAP in 2020 and beyond. As an international organization of national associations of photography, Mr Busi also spoke about how national organizations can partner and build strength in photography locally through ILFIAP patronage and other similar programs. He welcomed the inclusion of AvTvISO as the newest ILFIAP club from India and encouraged members to continue clicking more photographs, develop a love of light and leverage some of the benefits and platforms that FIAP provides to ILFIAP club members. Mr. Reha Bilir, President of Sille Sanat Sarayi in Turkey and Dr. B.K. Sinha, also graced this session. The interactive sessions were much appreciated by participants, as was testimony from the comments they left on the chat forum at the end of the sessions.
AvTvISO started its journey to re-discover the world of photography on 1st April 2016 with the intention to function as a serious photographers cooperative seeking knowledge and exposure out of pursuing photography. Some exciting initiatives that are on the anvil at AvTvISO are exhibitions, photo projects, publishing in-house magazines, creating a fund for
pursuing photography based education, collaborating with other photography clubs, creating and sharing content and many more activities.
They say, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” The recent lockdown did not deter AvTvISO from rediscovering the world of photography. These virtual connect sessions have kept the flame of passion towards photography alive among photographers. Both interviews are available to watch here: https://bit.ly/avtviso-youtube
