Morup Namgail, a distinguished photographer from Uley, Ladakh, India, has been honored as the 'Iconic International Photographer' and is set to be the Guest Exhibitor at the 'AURA 2024 - International Photography & Art Exhibition'. This prestigious event, organized by Retro Kolkata Magazine, is scheduled to be held at Nazrul Tirtha, Newtown, Kolkata, from January 13 to January 21, 2024.
Namgail's journey into the world of photography began after he graduated from the Shoots and Shoots Photography Academy in Delhi. He then honed his skills and gathered significant experience by working with Riverbank Studios and Felis Creations. His contributions to National Geographic documentaries have been noteworthy and have helped cement his reputation in the field.
In 2018, Namgail made the pivotal decision to become a freelance photographer and filmmaker, focusing his lens on the majestic Snow Leopards in his native Ladakh. His specialization in capturing these elusive creatures has not only showcased his talent but also brought attention to the natural beauty and wildlife of Ladakh.
The 'AURA 2024' event at Nazrul Tirtha promises to be a dynamic fusion of art and photography. It is structured into two segments - the art exhibition from January 13 to January 15 and the photography exhibition from January 18 to January 20. The event will conclude with a felicitation ceremony on January 21, where Namgail's achievements will be formally recognized.
Namgail's selection as the 'Iconic International Photographer' for this event is a testament to his skill, dedication, and unique vision in the field of photography. His work, particularly his focus on wildlife and natural landscapes, is expected to be a highlight of the exhibition, offering attendees a glimpse into the world of Snow Leopards and the broader natural beauty of Ladakh. This recognition serves not only as a personal milestone for Namgail but also as an inspiration for aspiring photographers and nature enthusiasts alike.
