KARACHI: French Cultural Center (Alliance Française)’s main Art Gallery was the venue where Consul General of France Alexis CHAHAHTINSKY inaugurated thesis exposition featuring works of graduating students of the professional photography course conducted by Professor Rahmatullah Khan Durriyazai (Tamgha-e-Imtiaz) here on Wednesday (22nd Jan 2025).

Alexis CHAHAHTINSKY handed over the diplomas to the successful pupils and lauded their work displayed at the exposition. Speaking to the Newspakistan.tv Professor Rahmatullah Khan informed: “In 2006 Alliance Française have introduced an internationally recognised 1-year diploma in photography for the first time in Pakistan!”

He said that participants of the course learn different photography techniques: “We teach almost everything from A to Z, except under-water photography because not everyone can do that.” He informed that pupils were not only given indoor lectures but were also taken out in order to enable them to focus on various themes. He told that many students were already in the profession who wanted to further ameliorate their expertise.

Rahmatullah Khan stated that with the expansion of trade and business activities the opportunities for photographers were also expanding. One can specialise in wedding, sports, wildlife, food (product) and fashion photography. He further told that each student captured thousands of snaps and the best were displayed at the graduation ceremony. Chefs-d’œuvre presented included images of daily life, still life, children, heritage, old buildings, fauna and flora etc.
