Nikhil Bahl

The Silver Spring Camera Club welcomes back Nikhil Bahl as its October speaker. Nikhil is a full-time professional photographer, author, educator, workshop instructor and environmentalist. He resides in the Washington D.C. Area.

 His presentation will focus on techniques for creating dynamic images. He maintains that while a great light display can lead to attractive images, a good photographer does not rely on great light to create compelling images. From capturing energy and motion to the serene and surreal, Nikhil will talk about techniques and ideas that you can use to create dynamic images. He will also give you insights into how and when these techniques are best applied.

 Drawing continuous inspiration from nature, Nikhil adopts novel approaches and seeks meaningful interpretations to create photographs that transcend the commonplace, reflect deeper insights, and convey an enchantment with the subject’s beauty. An offshoot of his fine art photography and love of nature is his documentation of wildlife behaviors and habitats. As a volunteer with the National Park Service and US Fish & Wildlife Service, his goal is to portray environmental stories with an artistic appeal. He uses these photographs to educate and motivate the public about the imperative of conservation.

 Each year Nikhil leads numerous photography tours and instructional workshops in the United States and abroad. His teaching encourages participants to advance beyond ordinary photos and develop their own style and vision. He is a popular speaker at photography clubs, expos and industry events. He authored the acclaimed eBook Creative Interpretations. He writes articles on the creative and technical aspects of photography. His work can be viewed at http://www.nikhilbahl.com.
