About Holi in Braj: A Riot of Colors from the Sky

When I shoot Holi in Mathura or Barsana, I am not just standing on the sidelines. I am up at sunrise with my DJI Mini 3 Pro to catch that first light hitting the temples, then moving into the crowd for the ground-level portraits. My gear, including the Sony ZV-E1 and Tamron lens, is weather-sealed and ready for the gulal, so we do not have to worry about the dust while you focus on the prayer.

I am Bean Singh. I did not learn photography in a classroom—I learned it on the ghats and in the chaotic, colorful lanes of places like Vrindavan. When I am not out chasing the next story in the Himalayas, I am here, documenting the heartbeat of India’s festivals, one frame at a time.
