Commenting on the
inauguration, Mr Joseph Radhik said,
“About 8 years ago is
when wedding photography started changing in India, we went from studio
bhaiyyas to shaadiwala to photographer and in Facebook we had first name last
name as ‘Wedding Photography’. But in those 8 years and after that, not a lot
has changed we moved from the studio to the candid photographer but its really
about how to find deeper meaning, and I think all of us are privileged to shoot
the biggest day of someone’s life and if we are taking on such a big
responsibility, it is wonderful if we can do a meaningful job and that is the
idea of PEP ASIA. “
Joshua Karthik commented,
“The Idea Behind this is
that, I think wedding photography in India needs and deserves a better
ecosystem that we need to actually get together and work together to build a
better future for ourselves, so that’s where the idea began and as the tagline
says, “We are Stronger Together that was the original idea and we said is there
a way to bring in international ideas and international concept, learnings to
really propel us to the next step. That is why we have global greats like Jerry
Ghionis,Brian Smith and Jesh De Rox and
everybody else who are all coming here to actually push us to the next step
,that’s the spirit behind PEP ASIA.”
Brian Smith added,
“Oh! This is fantastic to
be here as part of PEP ASIA, this is great experience to come across
,unfortunately I’m a little bit jet lagged but I’m looking forward to
experiencing all the fun in Mumbai over the next week.”
Jerry Ghionis commented,
“My wife Melissa and I
have come to India and we are very very excited to be here. Coming to India was
on our bucket list for many many years and we have been invited many times but
we couldn’t make it. We are gonna spend some time to go to places after these
presentations. At PEP Asia, to see so many photographers so excited to meet
with us and connect the dots with them, I’m meeting up with so many Facebook
friends here and everything makes me feel old as people have been saying that
they’ve been following me for 8 -10 years and I’m like ‘Oh my god, I feel
already old right now ‘. It’s very exciting to see such enthusiasm and the willingness
to change. Literally I’ve been blown by the professionalism. I think coming
here at this auditorium, the presentation, the lighting, the sound, the
enthusiasm this very interview .I think it’s fantastic for the industry. It’s
awesome. We are happy to be here”
Jesh De Rox shared,
“As I was talking about
in my speech, I think the true power of humans is when we are able to connect
and share ideas and little bits of wisdom and experience that we pick up along
the way with each other. It’s how technology moves forward, it’s how innovation
moves forward or how community gets build, its everything that makes us
powerful as a species. All happens inside a community like this and creating
spaces for this where people are comfortable and organised and you there’s an
event set so people know where to come, I mean all that step is very logistical
and not necessary glamorous but it is like what makes all of the amazing stuffs
that’s gonna happen here make possible. So I love this, how these are guys are
doing this and just from even a business point of view look at the numbers . I
think these guys are right at the edge of explosion. So honoured to be here and
I would love to be a part of it and continue”
A journey that shall take
every passionate photographer through the ABC’s (Art, Business and Craft) of
photography. PEP Asia plans to introduce a whole new world to all the ambitious
lovers of photography. PEP ASIA is a first at many levels with award winning
