bySplash Movement StudioWorkshops held in Bengaluru and MumbaiStarts from₹1,450 Per ParticipantView full gallery

Stop struggling with your camera settings and start actually shooting. These hands-on workshops are designed to help you master your DSLR in a fun, non-judgmental environment.

This is the hero image for my Portrait Photography workshop. It captures the natural, relaxed feel I encourage in my sessions. We focus on learning to take authentic portraits like this one by understanding light and connecting with your subject.

Here are the key details for the portrait workshop. I make sure we cover practical skills, like how to shoot in natural light and, just as importantly, how to guide someone to get a great, unposed shot. It’s all hands-on learning.

This is the main visual for my general beginner photography workshop. If you're feeling a bit lost with your camera, this is the perfect place to start. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and creative.

This note explains my teaching approach. My workshops are designed to give you practical experience so you can finally get off 'Auto' mode. We keep theory short and focus on clicking, so you can master your DSLR with confidence.

About Featured

The most important thing to know is that we skip the heavy theory and jump straight into the practical side. You will bring your own DSLR, and we will spend the session mastering the exposure triangle and natural light shooting in a small, supportive group where no question is too basic.

This is a perfect example of creating a beautiful, blurry background, a technique we call 'bokeh'. In my workshops, I teach you how to use your DSLR's settings, specifically the aperture, to isolate your subject and make it stand out just like this. It's one of the first steps to moving beyond auto mode and taking truly artistic photos.4
Composition is all about telling a story. Here, I used the railway tracks as 'leading lines' to draw your eye into the distance. We'll explore how to find and use these lines in landscapes and cityscapes to create powerful, dynamic images. I also applied a selective color effect in editing to make the sky pop.
Night photography opens up a whole new world. This shot of Nandi Hills was taken using a long exposure technique to capture the light trails from moving cars. I'll show you the right camera settings for night shots, so you can capture everything from city lights to starry skies.

This is what it's all about for me. Sharing over 15 years of experience with a room full of passionate photographers at a Nikon India workshop. My goal is simple: to help you understand the 'why' behind every setting, so you can become a confident photographer.7
This image lived in my mind for two years before I could create it. I shot the portrait and then used AI to generate the exact background I had imagined. I believe AI is a powerful tool for artists, not a threat. It helps us expand our creative vision, combining a photographer's skill with new technology.
Theory is important, but photography is learned by doing. In my workshops, you get hands-on practice with professional models and lighting setups. Here, students are learning to shoot a fashion portrait, applying the concepts we just discussed.
