The Department of Media and Mass Communication (MMC) of American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) organized a field trip and a day long photography workshop at an amazing garden called Panchaboti, Gazipur for the MMC students where they honed their photography and visual storytelling skills amidst the stunning natural landscape.
The field trip, coordinated by esteemed faculty members Niaz Majumdar and Nasrin Akter, took place on Saturday (2 March) . Panchaboti garden, renowned for her picturesque scenery boasting a myriad of plants, trees, flowers, birds, and water bodies, served as the perfect backdrop for the students to explore and refine their craft. It was not only a journey into the world of photography but also a profound learning experience.
As part of their Digital Photography and Photojournalism course, students received hands-on training in photography practices and the art of storytelling through imagery under the guidance of their respective teachers. The field trip was strategically incorporated into the curriculum as a midterm project, offering students the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting. Individual and collective assignments were assigned to each student, contributing to a section of their midterm grade.
One of the highlights of the trip was the students' special report on an iconic Mud House, designed by renowned architect Mr. Nahas Ahmed Khalil, constructed entirely with natural building materials. Through their lens, they captured the rustic charm and architectural brilliance of this unique structure, showcasing the seamless integration of sustainability and traditional craftsmanship.
The department of MMC are very grateful to Mr. Osman Kaiser Chowdhury, owner of this astonishing garden, for allowing our students of MMC to explore their project work.
