Political Photography – Beyond the Picture - Workshop

The workshop, “Political Photography – Beyond the Picture,” conducted by Ms. Supriya Rath, explored the relationship between photography, politics, and society. The session examined how photography can document and communicate political and social realities, while also serving as a visual record of protests, movements, and significant events.

Ms. Supriya discussed the importance of intention, subject selection, framing, and composition in communicating a particular message through an image. The workshop also highlighted the role of ethics and consent, emphasizing informed consent, responsible use of photographs, and treating subjects with dignity and respect.

As part of the hands-on activity, students worked in groups and photographed a series of given prompts, exploring how identity and social roles can be represented through visual cues, setting, composition, framing, and body language. Each group presented their photographs and discussed their creative approaches, followed by feedback from Ms. Supriya on their visual communication, composition, and ex*****on.

The workshop concluded by encouraging students to look beyond the conventional idea of political photography as simply documenting protests and to experiment with different subjects, perspectives, and photographic approaches while developing their own creative interests and niche.
