"Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." – Henri Cartier-Bresson
Photography is more than just capturing moments—it is an art that requires skill, technique, and a keen eye for detail. In a bid to enhance the expertise of our school's media professionals and faculty members engaged in visual storytelling, SAI International School hosted an exclusive Photography Workshop in collaboration with Sony on March 7, 2025. This workshop aimed to refine technical skills, introduce advanced photographic concepts, and explore creative perspectives that could elevate the quality of visual content produced by the team.
