Competing with 25 other cities Bhopalites capture the streets of Old Bhopal for the competition.

BHOPAL: Photographers dream comes true when they are judged by none other than Raghu Rai, the renowned photojournalist and to turn this dream into reality, IP (Indiapictures)  organized a photo competition on the theme ‘Streets’ on November 6, where 25 cities from across the nation participated.

In Bhopal, the photo competition was organised by IG Bhopal in collaboration with India Pictures with 56 participants. The participants walked from Iqbal Maidan covering the old city from Jumerati, Lakherpura, Moti Masjid and Jama Masjid. Making use of filters like monochrome, the participants captured the essence of life of Bhopal through their lenses.

 Shutterbugs captured the daily life of Old Bhopal early in the morning, with pictures of people preparing for their daily chores, portraits and people enjoying the early Bhopali morning.

The curator of the event Sachin Joshi said that the event was a success and more importantly participants were excited knowing that the competition will take them to Raghu Rai. “Meeting Father of modern photography, Raghu Rai will be the reward for these enthusiastic participants and it was clearly visible in the participants that they were very excited to win the competition. For the competition, participants will have to use certain hash tags for entry. The top five photographers will not just get a chance to meet Raghu Rai but will also receive a DSLR and other goodies too.”
