I’ve attended 21 WordCamps in India since 2013. Campers have spotted me with a camera at most WordCamps, sometimes as a photographer volunteer or as an attendee who uses a camera as an excuse to peek into different tracks or to escape boring sessions.
Since then, many serial WordCampers have started calling me the unofficial photographer of WordCamps in India. My camera has given me recognition in the Indian WordPress community, and I can’t ignore that.
I’m writing this blog post for all those who love to capture moments at any conference. If you find anything new to add to your capture list, please share it in the comments. Here is the list of moments I prefer to capture at any conference:
-
- Pre-camp preparations
- Venue & props
- Registration desks & objects
- Swag counters & objects
- Breakfast / lunch / snack items
- People enjoying food
- People networking
- People taking selfies / groupies
- Speakers preparing for talks
- Speakers while presenting
- Speakers discussing offline
- In-room Q&A photos
- Sponsors’ desks
- Sponsors while exhibiting
- Company team photos
- Opening and closing ceremony
I often publish these photos on my Facebook profile — you can check them here.
