ITINERARY
I’ll be hosting another exciting photography workshop that will take you on a journey through the incredibly unique festivals, fairs and celebrations of India that are absolutely teaming with photo opportunities. From visiting some of the most iconic monuments in the best light, to exploring vantage points that only a few experienced guides know about, this workshop is designed to be a roller-coaster ride of new experiences and one-of-a-kind photographs.
Always being one step ahead of the tourists, we will start our journey amidst the chaotic streets of Delhi, a perfect place to warm up our shutter clicking fingers. Following the Yamuna River, we will then visit Agra, the place where the Taj Mahal rises from the dust-beaten earth of Uttar Pradesh, pure magic to the camera. Travelling westward our final destination will be the golden desert city of Jaisalmer on the way passing through Jaipur, Pushkar and the stunning Jodhpur.
The highlight of our time together will be experiencing Diwali in Jaipur. Here we will have the opportunity to capture the illuminating display of fireworks and lights that adorn the city’s many streets, temples, and markets making this incredible pink city of India come alive with joy and celebration.
The workshop will then take us to Pushkar, where you will witness the world’s largest Camel Fair. Each year around 200,000 people converge here, bringing with them some 50,000 camels, horses, and cattle. The fair also features various competitions, such as the longest moustache competition, offering a unique opportunity to capture the local culture and traditions of Rajasthan.
Our time together will include individual and group discussions, inspiring ideas, post processing secrets and great fun!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
After you submit the Workshop Registration form, I will send you a welcome email which will outline various points including the details for a bank transfer. You can either choose to pay the full workshop amount or pay a reservation amount of INR 2,00,000 (Approx. USD 2,400) to block your spot. In this case, the balance payment will be due within 30 days of reservation or before 60 days of workshop date, whichever is earlier.
It is mandatory to bring a camera you are comfortable with and know the basic operations of. Apart from that a laptop with Photoshop installed is highly recommended as we will be discussing photos and editing techniques at the end of every day. In case you cannot carry a laptop, I will be more than happy to share mine.
In November the weather of Rajasthan is just perfect with the average highs reaching to 29°C and the average lows of around 15°C. This means ample of sunlight during the day and cool relaxing evenings.
All deposits and final payments for the workshop are non-refundable unless your space can be filled by someone else or from a wait list. Please do not sign up for one of my workshops if there is any possibility that you might have to cancel. In case you are worried about an emergency that prohibits you from attending, I recommend buying travel Insurance. The Best kind of insurance available is ‘Cancel for Any Reason Insurance’. This is the only type of insurance that will most likely reimburse you for different reasons including something like the Pandemic. It is typically 30% more than normal travel insurance but gives you peace of mind. In case the workshop is cancelled by me, for any reason, the extent of my liability is limited to the full return of fees paid for the workshop.
