SPDescription
If you are planning to visit Kolkata to photograph some of the iconic locations, I shall help you to find the best spots to take the iconic shots and get you an insider journey across the kolkata taking you to your desired location and also connect to the local people to get access to photograph the culture and ethnicity of the people of Kolkata.
After doing 6 years of constant photography and eight years of regular Photo walking in this city, I have realised that there is a lot to learn on and off the camera. This city is full of beautiful people, mesmerising culture and some amazing colourful streets. As a part of the Workshop, I'll be telling all about how to work in this city and how to approach and deal with the people before you take their photos. The basic composition of street photography, lights in portraits, capturing emotions and much more are a part of this workshop.
I'll assure you take amazing photos from your holiday and gain skills that will stay with you long back.

It would be really amazing if you have prime lenses like 35mm and 50mm. These two lenses will give the idea of street scenes and portrait photography. If you don't want to get confused between two lenses, feel free to bring your 24-70 mm lens and it will do all your job.Five keywords that best describe the experience you will have

I have been shooting with Shivam for 2 full days in Varanasi and 1 day in Amritsar.Our focus was on street photography at and around the ghats, some culture like morning sunlight ceremony, portraits of a sadhu on a boat on the Ganges, a boatman while rowing, portraits of locals as well as shooting bathers at Varanasi and Amritsar plus some architectural scenes.Shivam is such a phantastic photographer (check out his photos on instagram under shivam photopharm) and teacher.I enjoyed every moment with him and learnt such much on composition and training my eyes to identify photo worthy scenes.As he has been shooting with a Leica Q2 for years he could also give me advice on how to better use my own Leica.I can strongly recommend going shooting with him and plan to join one of his tours in Colcata in the future.
