Studio Life

The Infrastructure of SSVAP Consists of Seven Studios:

Over the course of the programme, these studios become an integral part of each and every student’s life. Together, these studios form a creative and safe space for the students that they get to make their own. It is a space where the students would first unfold their fresh ideas and watch them grow as they learn the art of experimentation. Over the years, these learning spaces provide an enriching and nourishing environment that nurtures the creativity within the students into reaching its potential. These spaces help students grow, explore, and find their niche- not just in terms of their career, but also in terms of understanding and getting to know themselves.

Bachelor in Cinematography

I have been associated with the Symbiosis School of Visual Arts and Photography for a few years now and highly impressed with the way the students get a holistic approach for learning. They get on field and off field learning experience under professionals like us who have vast industry experience. I have been a mentor for them for field wildlife photography workshops and liked the energy level of students and their eagerness to learn. A lot of learning happens through practical assignments and that's the key for a strong foundation. I think the best part is their campus which is situated on top of the hill and with the natural elements of nature, the learning is even more fun. Looking forward to a long term association and helping their students become better photographers.
