INMANTEC PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST (IPCU17)
To click a picture is to capture the moment; to capture the momentum of an aura. Photography is one of powerful medium of communicating your idea to the world based on perception and interpretation of thoughts. As the name suggests itself, Drishyam – It just takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. The idea behind is to give students a platform, where they can showcase their talent of using lights and capturing lives.
Come… Lights! Camera!! Click!!!

THEME –
Phase I: The broad theme for this contest is Candid PortraitI. Humans are blessed to be born with an ability to express their emotions. Candid photography means capturing those natural expressions and emotions without making of your subject aware of being clicked. Your subject may be your mother, a friend, child or someone utterly unknown to you, but you should essentially capture an unopposed, unprepared moment. To make it simple, just ensure that your subject is not posing for the camera, now whether you get an eye contact or not is up to you or your creativity.
Phase II: Will be given on the spot. The contestant need to capture moments related to theme inside the college campus and within the stipulated time period.
NUMBER OF ENTRIES – For both phases I and phase II contestants can submit a maximum of three entries. The entries in the first phase need to submit through the designated facebook link. In case of more than three submissions / entries by a participant, the first three entries in order of posting will be considered. However contestants have the choice to add new photos and remove the less preferred ones before the contest ends. Two points to note –
Only entries clicked by the contestant themselves are eligible for the contest. Evidence of ownership, place of clicking of the image, EXIF details, RAW file could be asked for in a logically doubtful situation. Any manipulation with the image data would make the entry invalid. For the phase I contestant can submit an image clicked earlier but a fresh, unused image will be anytime preferable.
