APEx
is an academy that is dedicated the promotion
of Photography education in India, a cause
that is dear to all of us.
APEx is located at 60, Basant Lok, Vasant
Vihar Community Centre, New Delhi near
Priya Cinema Complex, initiated by a Non
Profit Society - JSIER, supported by Jindal
Photo Limited, the sole marketers of Fujifilm,
and a consortium of Professional Photographers
in a bid to share their knowledge and
experience. The credentials are impeccable
and the intention is crystal, bringing
quality and international standard to
Photography education in India. Fostering
an academic & industry alliance that
would help in nurturing photography talent
across the country, with the best in academics
and industry, a synergy ideal in both
nature and form..
APEx is an effort to bring together all
practicing Professionals, Amateurs, Advanced
learners and also those who are still
trying to come to grips with the medium
on the same platform. A constant pooling
of ideas and a resource base that is dynamic
enough to contain, assimilate global movements
and trends.
In
a Nutshell APEx is a movement , a revolution
of sorts, where through a bloodless coup
a leadership is being created, which will
carry Photography the art and the science
of it all , to it’s most logical
conclusion.
Aimed
at training, educating and teaching especially
the youth along with practicing Professionals
about various movements within Photography,
across multiple platforms, how the Industry
is changing, the rules that distinguish
a good photo from a bad one and how photography
itself is changing. The boundaries are
dissolving and the lines blurring, to
emerge into one seamless art form. The
Photo is no longer an isolated approximation
of reality but a relative construct that
acquires new meanings and transcends planes
of understanding when used in conjunction
with other media.
APEx
stands for identifying specific challenges
and developing a curriculum which has
vocational relevance for the ever changing
times and providing an opportunity for
those who wish to pursue studies in this
area. Also intending to provide a learning
atmosphere that is particularly appealing
and extremely encouraging for the creative
and expressive demands of the prospective
photographer / image maker.
It
will execute the transition from analogue
to digital and make it a most exciting
time. The students at APEx, will embrace
new technology whilst retaining the hard
won values of the old. It would be a journey
which will be significant and at the same
time stimulating. APEx will not just teach
its students to record an image but also
to construct one. The endeavour is to
provide an environment which is constantly
renewing and energizing, and where learning
is about discovering and creating. The
fascination with "Visual Media"
and the inherent challenge associated
with effectively communicating ideas is
the prime focus.
Jindal
Photo has been around in the Industry
for a fairly long time now, having been
the leaders in the Industry, constant
innovation and reinventing ourselves has
been our philosophy right from our formative
years. This venture is just some random
thought. This initiative therefore comes
at an opportune moment and the timing
couldn’t have been more right.
Run by a Non- Profit Society, the intention
is to further the cause of Photography.
If you take your love for photography
seriously enough - Come join the revolution.
