About The Workshop Experience: Learn With Us

My workshops aren't about sitting through hours of theory. You walk into my studio in Sector 8, Noida, and we start shooting immediately. You will actually use the Sony A9III and Profoto gear that usually stays locked away, working with real agency models to practice live lighting setups like clamshell or projection backgrounds, rather than just watching me talk about them.

This black and white portrait was shot indoors at 9 AM using only natural light from a window. I intentionally used the curtains to cast interesting shadows on the model, adding depth and mood to the shot.6
Another example of using hard, natural light to create graphic shapes and a sense of movement. By setting a fast shutter speed of 1/250th, I controlled the ambient light and made the shadows the focus of this dynamic pose.
To create this soft, warm portrait, I used only natural window light. I pushed the white balance towards yellow in my edit to enhance the golden hour feel and used a creative blur effect for a dreamy, ethereal quality.
This is a motion blur variation from the same natural light series. A slower shutter speed combined with the model's movement creates a painterly effect, showing how you can experiment to get different results from the same setup.
