Frames From The Wild - Edition II - Open Call For Submissions

After the phenomenal response to Frames From The Wild - Edition I this February, we’re coming back this June with something bigger, bolder, and far more immersive.

Frames From The Wild - Edition II will not only feature a curated wildlife photography exhibition but also include:

• Offline workshops & mentorship sessions
• Interactive discussions on ethics, conservation & storytelling
• Expanded artist features
• A stronger pan-India wildlife photography community presence

And this time - we’re opening the doors to you.
