About Photography Education

My Approach

Photography is more than pressing a button - it's about seeing beauty in everyday moments and knowing how to capture it. I’ve built my career from a tiny room at home to teaching around the world, and now I love sharing everything I’ve learned. Expect real talk and practical advice, not just textbook stuff.

What I Teach

I run hands-on photography workshops focusing on artistic maternity portraits and creative portrait lighting education.
Newborn photography safety techniques are a big part of my sessions - I show you how to get those perfect poses without risking comfort or safety.
If you’re interested in making photography your career, I cover the business side too - branding, finding your style, and how to actually make a living from your photos.

How We Learn

I don’t believe in gatekeeping knowledge. Whether you’re picking up your first camera or you already shoot professionally, you’ll find something useful. My sessions mix demos, Q&A, and lots of honest stories - including what didn’t work for me.

Community Vibes

I’m all about community over competition. We learn together, hype each other up, and share the wins and the mistakes. If you want to join a group where everyone’s rooting for each other, this is the place.

If you want to go from clicking photos to creating art that feels personal, let’s get started.

My Story

Hey, I’m Barkha. I’m big on helping each other grow—life’s better that way. Once, I held a student’s baby at Shutterfest so she could learn, and it hit me how much we need each other. As a mom, I know what it’s like to give everything to family, but I’m learning to celebrate myself too. Mother’s Day, I glam up, click pics just for me. I’ve shot portraits for Indian Navy families—Jai Hind, Jai Bharat. Every shoot is a chance to create art and real stories.
