The session, on 06 June 2026, was a bit technical, and interactive at the same time. Hence, interesting. This session started with the introduction of Raghu Rai, through examining one of his famous quotes regarding the fact, "A photograph has picked up a fact of life, and that fact will live forever." And how technicality of capturing a photograph plays a vital role in freezing that fact in a frame. With this note, session progresses towards the four important technical aspect of photography that is, ISO and Shutter Speed (Covered in this session), Aperture and Temperature (will be covered in session V of Khichik) with a deep run through the photographs published under the pristine Magnum Photos. After this, the session delves towards the interaction stage (floor for participants to engage and put their viewpoints upfront). Those two photos are,

1. A Cow and deities on the bank of the Hooghly River, Kolkata.

2. Bangladesh, 1971.

After a meaningful interaction the stage has announced the "Call for Photograph" urging participants to submit their hard earned photograph to get the chance of get it published and let participants engage in open floor discussion for the upcoming sessions of Khichik.
