There’s a quiet kind of magic in photography, the way it distils time, emotion, and light into a single, still frame. A photograph doesn’t just freeze a moment; it gives it meaning. It allows us to pause, to feel, to see the world through someone else’s eyes, if only for a second. In an increasingly fast-moving world, photography offers stillness, reflection, and often, revelation. Keeping that magic alive, Delhi Photography Club has brought their annual members’ exhibition titled “Light and Life: A Quiet Poetry of Light”. The exhibition offers a window into the hearts and minds of 12 passionate image-makers.The exhibition by Delhi Photography Club (DPC) brings together a curated body of work that celebrates not just the art of photography, but the emotions and stories light can reveal, is on view till 9th September at Open Palm Court Gallery at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
