My name is Gnanasekaran Kalaivani and I live in the old Division of Uva Highlands Estate. I was educated at Uva Highlands Tamil Maha Vidyalaya and have now completed my education. Joining this program gave me the opportunity to learn photography as well as take various photographs. I gained a deeper understanding and insight into the problems faced by our people as I visited various estates in the hill country. I had no idea of what a digital camera was but at the end, I was able to operate it skillfully and correctly. The photos I took in the early days were glaringly white. Subsequently, I was able to take good photographs. Exposure to photographs taken by world-renowned photographers also helped. I see this photographic exhibition as a valuable opportunity to capture the lives of the people of the hill country, to highlight them and to take it to the people.
