Mumbai, the photogenic city, is playing host to the first photography festival — titled Focus — which will feature a series of events that will celebrate the world of photography with Mumbai as the backdrop. In its first edition the free-for-all event will highlight the city’s vibrant nature and diverse communities. Multiple city venues ranging from art galleries to nightspots, retail stores, restaurants and even the streets will act as hosts for the event. The festival, to be held every two years, includes 22 exhibitions, three competitions, workshops, talks, tours, an open library, portfolio reviews and more.
