Be a part of my world....

On the first glance, the title does sound like an invitation for a probable life partner. But, my world is not about love or about marriage alone. My world is something more visual and seen through my eyes. So, this invitation is for you to be part of that visual journey in my life.

Photography has always been a liberating experience for my mind and I see it as a means of letting others see the world through my eyes. I keep saying that photographers are the fortunate lot because we are capable of donating our eyes while we are still alive. The photographer lets others see the world through his eyes. It is time for me to do so and also invite a few of the younger crop to be a part of the mission too.

I am holding my second photography exhibition from May 16 - 19 at Museum Hall, Trivandrum. My first exhibition conducted as a project for the Trivandrum Zoo and featuring photographs of zoo animals was a success. It was featured in the leading newspapers and also covered by the channels.


This time around, I am aiming at doing the exhibition for presenting my portfolio and using one of the exhibition days as a launching platform for young aspiring photographers to feature their best work along with my exhibition. It is an open invitation and the photographer will get the chance to interact with the crowd and the media.

The criteria is quite simple. You can send me two of your best photographs along with your name, age, your occupation and the story behind the photographs. I personally believe that no photograph is a blank note and that each click carries a story with it. So, briefly explain your story for the two photographs and mail it to me at arun.kunjunny@gmail.com. Chosen 40 or 50 photographs depending on the space availability will be featured for a full day along with my photographs. So, a group of 20 - 25 photographers get a free platform to exhibit their work and interact with the crowd. Do send in your low resolution pics latest by 11th of May and I will let you know the selected photographs by 13th May.

Lets celebrate the art of photography and join hands in this visual expedition.
