2nd Annual JPC AWARDS were held with the Launch of “The Shooting Stars 2016” of Jaipur Photographers’ Club. This is the 3rd Annual Coffee Table Book release of the club.To mark and dedicate the day the project was been launched on the World Photography Day i.e. 19th Aug 2015. The main idea behind launching the Photo Project is to put a serious effort towards completing the Photo Project.
All the Participants were required to work on a theme/subject for almost a year with photo reviews and feedback from time to time. The Project is quite tedious and tough the same can be understood by the fact that only 10% of the participants emerged successful in completing the Project.This year the work of 5 Stars is being featured in the book. The club has come up with the individual Coffee Table Books and a Common Book also.
