Now that she is back from her tours, Shubhecha Tewari, 19, is all geared up to host an exhibition of the photos that she took while she was touring around the corners of New Zealand and Australia. Her photo exhibition will kick off on Sunday, August 30 at Hotel Shangri-La in Lazimpat and will run through September 6.
Tewari, who is now trying her best to grow herself as a professional photographer, is also a painter. She has been doing contemporary art for the last few years.
How did it all begin?
The pretty maiden answered, “When I was living in New York, I befriended those who were photographers. I loved their job. And I understood photography to be close to fine art and painting. The difference is just that when you do a painting, you can have your multiple perspectives on an object; and with photos, it’s presenting the same thing in a different beautiful way. Take for example an ordinary tree. It can look so different with various lighting and compositions.”
Tewari has not been through any formal training courses in photography. She tried first to know her camera, and as she did so, she went on capturing the astounding beauty of nature in abundance. “I love nature photography,” she adds. “Through this exhibition, I’m trying to remind people what they are missing. I’m trying to stop them for once to see how beautiful nature is, and how we’ve overlooked its preciousness.”
After her exhibition ends, Tewari has planned to backpack one more time and head to countries around the world to capture more beautiful moments in nature. Her upcoming exhibition has an ensemble of fascinating scenes and some breathtaking locales of New Zealand and Australia. These photos are put up for sale, and the money collected will be donated to Child Development Youth Network, a local organization run by youths for educating the young from squatter communities. In the meantime, what about her academics at her young age?
She makes it quick, “I’ve already taken a gap and I’m looking forward to take one more soon. I believe I need to do more things before I start another chapter of academics. I’ll also give continuation to my painting.”
