Vineet Vohra will be speaking during our Saturday evening events and is also teaching a 3-day workshop at StreetFoto San Francisco. Here’s how he describes himself:
Born in Delhi/India I did masters in fine arts from the prestigious college of arts, I am a self-taught photographer and street photography is a passion that I live like a discipline. Although I started shooting as a wild life photographer for two years I switched on to street in 2001, it instantly became my passion and my first nature. To me street photography is a journey and I travel everyday, I am learning and unlearning everyday, I thrive to improve everyday. Life in General which is so unexpected I try to be as honest through my lens as I can. I try to synthesize between human elements and the environment & my main focus is how to make ordinary moments look extraordinary. I think everyone of us should get involved with photography because it gives more than one can ever imagine. In 2011 I formed APF (artphotofeature.com) along with my brother, Rohit Vohra, who is also a street photographer. APF is born from an education imperative, it’s an evolving magazine where we recognise fresh talent. The intent is to provide a platform for emerging photographers, artists and designers to showcase their works, works that are not necessarily commercial, to create opportunities and open new doors. The subjects explored are broad, in terms of concepts, styles and techniques. We want to explore the limits and possibilities.
Currently I am doing workshops globally and was chosen as Fuji “X” photographer, my works and stories have been published on various prestigious magazines all over the world.
