FotoKraft

OVERVIEW

FotoKraft – the JEC Photography Club, is an amateur photographers club started by a group of students of Jorhat Engineering College in the year 2012 on the 18th of April. The Club aims at promoting the interest of students in the feld of photography. It also acts as the Photo-Journalist of JEC and does the pictorial documentation of each college event. FotoKraft is responsible for documenting each and every activity in the college premises, be it formal functions organized by the administration or informal activities that include student participation.

By far it has been the most active Club of Jorhat Engineering College as it happens to be an inexplicable part of the socio-cultural structure of the college by itself. The administration of JEC and Student Union of the college JECSU has always entrusted the responsibility of “Photography” and “Videography” to this Club and the Club itself has tried to meet the expectations with sincerity and utmost dedication over the years. FotoKraft is always willing to improve itself and garner skills for the better of the college and its counterparts.

Besides that the other activities of the clubs include photo-shootouts, holding photography-workshops,competitions, seminars and photo exhibitions. The club has its own photo gallery in the college premises which displays the immense talent of its members. Along with that, FotoKraft works in tandem with other Clubs of JEC to provide the best means possible of representation of the college for the greater good.
