Starting of the Club

Team Shutterbugs came into existence in the year 2017, as an initiative of our club head Mr. Aryan Sharma who was then in the first year of Civil Engg. At such a young age our head worked hard to establish this club with the help of 8 other batch mates. In the year 2018, the club opened itself to recruit new members. This was the first time our club was officially managing as well as documenting events like Summit, Nirmitee and BCS and got recognized and appreciated for its work. Today our club has over 60 members who are able to successfully manage multiple college events and work together as a club. Shutterbugs being the only team that documents all the college events with such amazing efficiency and quality is now recognized by our college management and is proudly known as the Official Photography Club Of MIT-WPU.

Our Aim

For us, the camera is a sketchbook, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity. We here at MIT-WPU Shutterbugs are committed to bring memories to life with everything we have. The feeling of learning from one other is mutual and that is what binds our club together. The will to overpower difficulties and learn from mistakes is our biggest strength making us unparalleled. It has always been an attempt to do something out of the box may it be, photography, videography or graphic designing. A photograph takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still for eternity in our souls.

Our Vision

We wish to bring together all the creative minds on the same platform to give them an opportunity to exploit your abilities. It’s not just about clicking the best photographs or shooting the best video clips, it’s about the ability to bring a moment back to life that happened long ago, to cherish what it would have been. Photography is like a spark in the mind, fan it with enough air and you will get the best flame ever. Also, to be able to work in team now, will help you to be able to lead a team in your future during the professional life.

Our Experience

Shutterbugs has taken the responsibility of a ‘Quality Press Release’ since the very dawn of the club. We believe in providing nothing, but the best quality “Media And Publicity”. We have been working diligently to put forward the best content from our side. Our biggest strength is to be able to work in a team, with sync. What makes the club even more functional is the extra ordinary coordination amongst the members. The club has been more like a family instead, where all the club members are ready to provide all the help to every counter part as and when needed. We, together had the opportunity to work for all the major events like:

How We Are Different?

We at MIT-WPU Shutterbugs are more like a family than an official club. We believe that we always have scope for improvement and so we always try to find ways to expand our knowledge and gain practical experience of the same. Apart from covering all the official events and fests, we conduct many unofficial activities and competitions for our club members and sometimes everyone. These include photo-walks, treks, competitions on our social media handles, photo galleries, workshops and a lot more. This makes the learning process a lot more fun and interesting. We also help our novice members in developing their skills and help them gain a better perspective from behind the lens. During the recruitment process, trained photographers or designers is not all we are looking for (of course they are more than welcome) but anyone with a keen interest and a strong drive for learning photography or graphic designing along with a little basic knowledge is welcome to the club. Ours is not a technical, study related club. This is a club that brings together people from different departments of the university having a common passion and interest which makes it a great experience for each and every member of the club. Even though the team works hard during the events, it doesn’t seem like work because we are too busy enjoying whatever we are doing. And working hard for something you love is called passion- is what we believe in.

Departments of our club

The club has three main departments- Photography, Videography and Graphic Designing. The Photography and Videography departments cover all the events that take place in and out of the campus with a keen eye. The club is well equipped in terms of technology as well as personnel to handle all aspects of covering any event or activity. Up to date equipments and accessories play a key role in this process. The club also has a drone at its disposal along with people trained to use it, which gives the best cinematic shots in our video documentaries. The Graphic Designing department takes care of designing posters and banners for our college events. Apart from that they also design badges, t-shirts and other accessories for the individuals taking part in the specific events. Not only are these but the certificates that are given to participants and volunteers designed by our graphic designing team as well. We have a team of hardworking designers well equipped with the knowledge of complex softwares like photoshop, illustrator, after effects, c4d and blender. All things considered, we could proudly say that we are a pretty self sufficient team capable of managing college events quite successfully.
