The 2nd talk from the Fine Art Talk series concluded last Saturday with an inspiring and informative talk by the celebrated photojournalist and humanitarian, GMB Akash.
The talk titled, “Heroes of Life” allowed the audience an exclusive opportunity to vicariously follow along with him on his photography assignments and projects as he shared the insider stories and tales of those photographed. In the talk he recalled how he began his journey as a photographer and shared what compelled him to focus on giving back to the community. He inspired the audience by sharing some of his pursuits and efforts to create a better and more self sufficient and empowered society.
In the question and answer session that followed his talk, he answered many questions from the audience ranging from advice for photojournalists when taking photographs to recounting his many experiences in the field.
He further carried out a session about photography, where he delved deeper into the more technical details of the craft and shared his techniques and processes and the knowledge he has gained from working over 25 years in the industry.
His photo exhibition “Soulscapes” will be held at the National Art Gallery from 4th to 6th November 2019. With free entrance to all, the exhibition will be open from 10am to 2pm and 4pm to 10 pm.
