The needs we felt....
In process of learning, books are always one of the main resources of knowledge. Learners must have a regular habit of reading that will shape their journey of knowledge.
In today’s world, books are widely available all over the internet. There are very good online libraries as well. However, we always felt dire need of a place where we can find and read photography related books.
Feeling this void, we came up with a digital library curated with Rishi On Ride own publications, photography, art & culture related books. The library is fully accessible to all website visitors.
You learn faster when you learn with a like minded community. Well, photography communities are not scarce these days. However, they always need to completely depend on social media providers like Facebook, Instagram or Whatsapp for basic community functions.
As you might imagine these popular social platform comes with irritatingly penetrative ads, commercial algorithm and diverting temptations that creates a roadblock to your learning needs.
We wished for a social platform free from these evils so that the users can spend quality time and make learning fun.
Rishi On Ride 4.0 introduces Discourse – a fully featured social media platform with post, group, profile, forum. Discourse is not mass social media. Its restricted to invite only and accessible to Community & Core members.
Most of the users today prefer their needs to be delivered on mobile handset. It clears the web clutter and helps to balance work and learning together.
Rishi On Ride 4.0 introduces two native android apps focused on learning and community activity. The learning app packs all the features of Learning Portal and the community app gives you easy access to Discourse – our own social media platform.
Both the apps are in process of Google Play Store availability. Currently you can download them safely from Google Drive.
Specialist Mentors
The most important addition in Rishi On Ride 4.0 is the Specialist Mentor panel. While ROR original courses caters to the basic and advanced session on Art of Photography, Specialist Mentor Courses will be more focused of different genres, approach and expressions of photography.
Designed for both independent and commercial photographers, the special courses will cover two broad sectors of photography – Lifestyle & Nature. Keeping the contemporary user and industry interests in mind, we have chosen four main genres to expand our learning subject coverage –
- Fashion and Studio Light
- Wedding & Events
- Wildlife & Birding
- Nature & Landscape
All the specialist mentors onboard are senior professionals and respected in the industry for their authority over the medium and inspiring body of work. In coming months, our learning repository will surely be enriched and serve our members more effectively to reach their photography goals.
Stay tuned to know our new mentors!
