About Photography Workshops & Mentoring
My Approach: Light First, Always
For me, it’s not about chasing the fanciest camera or lens – the real magic is in mastering light. I get a kick out of watching people discover those aha moments with studio lighting or nailing a shot they thought was out of reach. Learning photography should be an experience, not just a transaction.
How We Learn Together
- No boring lectures here. We shoot, we experiment, we mess up, and we fix it.
- You’ll work with top gear, shoot with real models, and see the difference instantly.
- Theory is there, but only the stuff that matters when you’re actually behind the camera.
- Whether in studio, on a photowalk, or outdoors, I keep it practical – and it’s always a group vibe, never just a classroom.
Core Workshops
- Studio Lighting Techniques: The ‘Light ka khel’ (game of light) – 3 D’s, creative setups, clamshell lighting for flawless faces. I’ll break it down in Hindi or English, whatever works.
- Cinematic Projection Photography: My jam – create wild studio backgrounds with projectors, AI tools, and pro lighting. No color banding headaches.
- Portrait Posing Guidance & Fashion: From edgy fashion shoots to maternity, newborn, and couple sessions. Safety first, always.
Learn from Experts Too
I bring in specialists for food, beauty retouch, maternity, and film. You’ll get perspectives from the best, not just me.
Gear You Actually Use
Everything from Sony A9III (global shutter, haan bhai) to Zeiss lenses and serious lighting – you get hands-on.
Where It Happens
Workshops run out of my Noida studio. Sometimes they’re free, sometimes not, but always worth your time.

My Story
Hey, SPS Kalra here. Fashion and cinematic photography is my thing, but honestly, teaching gives me a bigger kick. My Noida studio isn’t just for shooting - it’s where I host workshops, help folks pick up basics or master lighting. I love running free photowalks in Delhi, no registration, just pure enthusiasm. If you’re keen to learn or shoot, just show up. That’s how I roll.
My Work
Fashion & Cinematic Photography - I shoot high-end fashion and cinematic portraits for brands and individuals, making every frame count.
Photography Workshops - From basics to advanced lighting, I run workshops at my Noida studio for anyone who’s interested.
Projection Background Photography - Want a vintage car or a forest backdrop? I use projection to create cinematic studio shoots, no travel needed.
Lighting Techniques - Light is king. Whether it’s minimal gear bridal portraits or clamshell setups, I sculpt faces for that sapaat chehra glowing look.
Top-Notch Equipment - Sony A9III, Profoto, Aputure… I use top gear for every shoot, so your vision turns real.
