Some 40 students with hearing impairment, studying in Wangsel Institute in Paro have now been exposed to the world of photography.
Thanks to the four day training under the Young Photographer Project which was held in Thimphu and Paro, simultaneously. The training that ended today helped students acquire photography skills.
The trainers were professional photographers and writers from Thailand. They imparted tips on basic photographic techniques to the participants. They provided hands on experience of photo-shoots as well.
“We can see that the students are very interested in photography and take awesome pictures too,” said one of the representatives of Young Photographer Project, Chaton Chokpattatra.
The Young Photographer Project’s objective is build students’ confidence and to provide them with new perspective to the world through their pictures.
