YMCAUST August 17, 2016










Finally, the university had a globe-trotter arriving here. YMCAUST was the destination for Dr Deepti Singh Gupta, travel writer and photographer when she had a surfeit of ideas on ‘Travel Trends and Careers’ to share with aspiring journalists and amateur photographers. Deepti Singh Gupta has just held an exhibition of her travel photographs at the India Habitat Centre. Her work has found mention in national dailies like Deccan Herald and Pioneer.

The students were kept mesmerized by the spectacular landscape photography, impressive silhouettes and ethereal profile in her artwork.  The whole panorama of contemporary media practices was laid out for the media aspirants to explore and understand. Her talk probed a range of subjects from marketing strategies using microblogging and new media to travel writing ‘mantras’ and pitfalls.


Deepti Singh’s write- ups as well as travel photographs have featured in celebrated magazines like Lonely Planet magazine and site, National Geographic and National Geographic Traveller, Economic Times ‘Traveland Times of India travel site –‘Happy Trips’ while she has  also curated photo exhibitions of her travel images under the name 'Postcards From Paradise'. This freelance photographer set up a travel blog in 2013 and remains an avid blogger documenting and tweeting her travel tales @GlobalPitara.

The prestigious Art Nouveau Gallery held an online exhibition of her selected artwork in December 2015. Currently her artwork can be accessed at the internationally acclaimed Saatchi Art. She has been invited to deliver Travel Talk at the very popular Oxford Bookstore.

An environmentalist by education with a doctorate in Botany, but a traveller in spirit and soul, she was interviewed by Hindustan Times and also wrote for HT City lately.
