Why come with us:
- We are the only UK based company specialising exclusively in photography courses in India. Our expertise of places and customs enable us to take you to the best spots at the most appropriate times throughout the year and provide you with first hand experience of how to approach and photograph people in their environment.
- Our itineraries are specifically designed to give you the opportunity to develop and apply a variety of professional techniques to a wide spectrum of subjects.
- Our schedules allow generous amounts of time for shooting. Even when long-distance travel is involved, we ensure that the routes we take allow plentiful opportunities for photography.
- Our group sizes are kept deliberately small, so on all of our trips you will receive the personal attention you need to learn at your own pace.
- All our course dates refer to time spent on the ground in India and exclude days for international travel. This means that the length of our courses and tours corresponds to the actual number of days when photography tuition is available. This also allows participants to incorporate our courses within their more extensive travel plans in Asia.
- Our courses run throughout the year, allowing you plenty of choice of time and locations.
What you can expect to learn on our courses:
- How to operate your camera efficently
- How and when to use different lenses
- How to construct strong images: the rules of composition and when to break them
- Interaction techniques: when and how to get close to your subject
- Visualization techniques: knowing how the medium will render the scene
- How to recognise photographic opportunities

- Filter applications

While the personal attention you will receive will allow you to develop your skills and creativity at your own pace, by travelling in a small group you will also benefit from the opportunity to share and exchange ideas about ways of seeing the world around you. All of our trips are journeys of discovery and no two are alike. The pictures you will capture will be a vivid record of a unique journey, yet the methods and techniques you will absorb will equip you with the ability to create strong, expressive images wherever you are.
