Mumbai: Ibibo and Fashion TV have launched the Ibibo FTV iFashion Photographer Contest to provide a platform to amateur fashion photographers across India to showcase their talent at a national level.

As part of the contest, fashion photographers can upload their portfolios on www.ibibo.com, which will be adjudged by the Ibibo community and the FTV panel including famous fashion photographer, Jatin Kampani. This contest will culminate with five budding fashion photographers shooting FTV models, in a professional state of the art studio under Jatin Kampani’s guidance. The experience will be captured by FTV on camera and will be telecast later on FTV.

Ibibo CEO Ashish Kashyap commented, "Ibibo FTV iFashion Photographer is a unique proposition, never attempted before. It’s a platform that gives budding fashion photographers from both metro and non-Metro India, an opportunity reach out to audiences and showcase their work on Ibibo. And a select few get to train and shoot with the very best in the industry-Jatin Kampani."
