About Photography Workshops & Mentoring
I teach photography in a way that’s slow, quiet, and real. I’m not about rushing through theory or chasing trends. My workshops are for anyone who wants to actually understand how light works, how to guide a subject, and how to make images that feel honest.
What You’ll Learn With Me
- We’ll break down lighting setups together - not just talk about them. You’ll get your hands on softboxes, umbrellas, beauty dish, and see how each one changes the mood.
- I’ll show you 10 lighting setups I use for portraits, fashion, and lookbooks. You’ll learn how to pick the right light shaper for your own style. This is a hands-on lighting workshop, not a lecture.
- Posing and styling isn’t just about looking good. I’ll help you direct clients, keep things minimal, and create portraits that feel raw and organic. We’ll talk about energy on set, not just technical stuff.
- My retouching workflow is all about keeping skin texture clean and images minimal. I’ll walk you through how I prep and finish images so they look polished but still real. If you want to learn a minimal retouching workflow, this is for you.
- We’ll also talk about the business side - how to price your work, position yourself, and find clients who value what you do. I’ll share what’s worked for me in commercial photography mentoring.
I keep things practical, honest, and focused on what actually matters in the real world.

My Story
Hey, I'm Vidhi. Mumbai’s home now, but I learned my craft at The Art Institute in the States. My Canon 5D Mark III is like an old friend - still my go-to, even after 13 years. I’m not into chasing every new trend or shiny gadget. I just show up, do the work, and find peace in that. On shoots, I’m all in - fixing beds, moving stuff, whatever. The best days? When everything clicks and the shoot feels like poetry.
My Work
Photography & Films - I shoot portraits, headshots, commercial lookbooks, jewellery campaigns, and short films. My style is raw and real.
Hands-on Shoots - I keep the vibe easy, aiming for natural light portraits and smooth, effortless energy on set.
Minimal Retouching - I love muted tones and minimal retouching photography - clean skin, organic textures, no over-editing.
Workshops - I run hands-on photography workshops, especially on lighting and creating harmony of colours.
