Your digital camera today has a story to tell! For many youngsters studying on the campus enjoying indulging in photography has emerged the best medium of self-expression during the vacation.

Nothing captures the essence of a moment more perfectly than a camera and youngsters in the city are enjoying this. The pictures then find their way to social networking sites or blogs.

Photography being a unique medium, experts feel that not always do you need a professional degree for it. It depends on the perception and how you view a particular object. The young today enjoy taking pictures of anything that catches their fancy and are simply loving doing that. And it is quite an affordable hobby, say many.

Disha Kalolia, a design student says, "I like photography as I can capture people's emotions. It leaves a trail of fond memories for a lifetime!"

But what has caused this sudden spurt of youngsters being involved in the world of photography? People no longer have to worry about that one bad picture in the film, or the skills required in the post-production process, say the young. Digital cameras have made it very easy for people to click hundreds of pictures without bothering about getting a bad picture. It is all about shooting random things, not worrying about perfection or production quality. Psychology graduate Hiral Makwana says, "Today, photography has become easy compared to earlier days. Camera is available at your desired budget. SLR cameras have become a style statement for people to own and are easier to use then the video cameras."

Ketan Modi, Pictographer, who also teaches photography, feels, "Youngsters aged 18-25 are pursuing it as a hobby. Previously, people considered photography as a costly profession which required a lot of skills. Gen Z is more passionate about the latest equipments rather than the artistic side of photography."

Like every beginner, they begin with nature photography, birthday parties, farewell parties and get togethers. These pictures also make great items for gifts as photo frames, mugs, T-shirts, calendars and scrapbooks. Sohel Mojanidar, an engineer, says, "A photograph creates memories. That is why the minute you say 'picture', it brings a smile on someone's face!"

With various photography contests offering a lucrative platform for the young to showcase their talent, the Gen Z is only indulging in capturing the pixels.
