Exhibition Of Photographs By Rajendra Shaw: Events in Hyderabad

REVIEW FOR EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHS BY...

To commemorate 60 years of India's freedom, Naandi Foundation is launching a revolutionary 'Freedom of Expression' project. Through this, the Foundation will train underprivileged girls, men, women and youth with photography skills, so that in the 60th year of independence they can go one step further with the means to express their points of view to the rest of the country through images and their stories. These photos will be exhibited across the country next year on special occasions.

To help this project take off, and to raise contributions for it, Naandi is organising an exhibition of photographs taken by Rajendra Shaw, an award-winning photographer and a close associate of Naandi, from 6th to 8th October, at the Taj Krishna. Titled "Highlights and Silhouettes: Images From Rural India", the exhibition will showcase Rajendra Shaw's handpicked "best images" shot across different states.

For every contribution of Rs. 31,000, one can choose for free, a 3.3 x 2.3 ft framed image from the display showcased at the exhibition.

Rajendra Shaw was born in Kolkata, and after finishing school and college, went on to study at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in Pune. Graduating from FTII, he migrated to Hyderabad, and has ever since been providing support communication services to social organizations.

He served as the Director of the Centre for Development Communication, Hyderabad. He is now a freelancer, and takes up commissioned photography and video assignments for social organizations. Over the past two decades, his photos have been exhibited and published in India and the UK.
