Hands-On Photography Workshops in Gurgaon
Join me in the studio for hands-on learning, from mastering your camera settings to advanced newborn posing techniques. We keep our cohorts small and the conversation real.
A look inside my maternity photography workshop in collaboration with GP Pro. The room was filled with passionate photographers, and we dove deep into lighting, posing, and the art of capturing the maternal glow. It's always inspiring to connect with and teach a community that shares this love for the craft.
As a Canon Maestro, I was thrilled to attend the Canon Masters Conclave 2024 in Bangalore. Being surrounded by so much talent and witnessing the launch of new flagship cameras was incredibly inspiring. These events fuel my passion and allow me to bring the latest knowledge back to my students.
In my advanced newborn photography workshops, we focus on mastering complex poses like the popular "froggy pose" with an emphasis on safety. I also teach my complete workflow for newborn skin retouching and artistic editing to give your images a polished, professional look.
For those new to newborn photography, my basic workshops cover the essential fundamentals. You will learn safe handling and wrapping techniques, foundational lighting and camera settings, and how to create an efficient workflow to manage your sessions smoothly.
My intermediate workshops are all about getting creative with props and setups. I teach you how to craft and style unique scenes using various props, along with posing techniques that ensure the baby is safe and comfortable in baskets, bowls, and other creative environments.
To ensure every student gets personalized attention and the most effective learning experience, I keep my newborn masterclasses small with very limited seats. This allows for hands-on guidance and a supportive environment where you can master new skills.
My newborn masterclass is designed for photographers of all levels, from total beginners to experienced professionals looking to specialize. You will leave with new technical skills, business insights, and a complete guide to newborn photography to help you grow your business.
I often collaborate with other international experts, like Margaret Han, to bring diverse perspectives to my students. These masterclasses focus on building a sustainable newborn and maternity photography business by sharing years of collective experience and proven techniques.
About Hands-On Workshops & Masterclasses
My workshops are not about sitting through endless slides. Whether you are joining the 3-day Photography 101 cohort or an advanced masterclass, expect to spend most of your time behind the lens, solving real lighting challenges, and getting immediate, on-the-spot feedback on your shots.
I built my career from a tiny room at home to teaching internationally, and I don't believe in gatekeeping that knowledge. When you join a session at my Gurgaon studio, we skip the fluff and get straight into the craft.
What we cover
- Camera Mastery: We move you from Auto to Manual mode, teaching you the exposure triangle, focal lengths, and lens selection so you actually control your images rather than hoping for the best.
- Newborn Safety & Artistry: This is a huge focus. I teach safe handling, wrapping techniques like the 'potato sack,' and how to achieve complex poses like the froggy pose without risking baby comfort.
- Lighting & Composition: Learn to identify and sculpt light, whether you are using natural window light or artificial studio strobes to create those high-end, soft portraits.
- Business & Strategy: Photography is also a business. My mentorship blocks are designed to audit your portfolio, fix your pricing, and help you position your brand to attract the right clients.
How I teach
I run small cohorts to ensure every student gets individual attention. My approach mixes theory, live demonstrations, and honest Q&A. I don't just show you what works; I tell you about the mistakes I made so you can avoid them. If you are a beginner, we start with the basics. If you are a professional, we dive into workflows, skin retouching, and business scalability to help you grow. Whether you join an offline masterclass in Sector 42 or opt for a 1-on-1 virtual mentorship, my goal is to give you the confidence to turn your passion into a sustainable career.
