Stop guessing your settings and start taking control of your camera. Join our hands-on workshops in Bangalore to master manual mode in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.

An inviting portrait used for my beginner photography workshop in Bangalore. This is where you can finally move past your camera's auto mode and start taking control of your images in a fun environment.

A summary of what to expect and what to bring to the beginner workshop. The most important thing is your DSLR and a willingness to play. No fancy gear or prior experience is needed at all.

About Get Off Auto Mode: Beginner DSLR Workshops

Our focus is real-world practice, not just technical theory. You will spend the session learning to navigate the specific dials and buttons on your own camera body, so you can stop guessing settings and start capturing the photos you actually see.

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.
