Mumbai Street Photography Boot Camp

The Mumbai Street Photography Bootcamp is a 9 a.m. to 2p.m. immersive experience in the art of street photography. We aren’t going to explore touristy sites! No! We will focus instead on learning the craft of street photography with the singular goal of improving our skill sets.
Through the use of exercises and proven techniques, we will capture both candid and street portraits under my supervision. We’ll explore the busy streets of Mumbai throughout the course of the day and capture life as it unfolds during the busy work week. I’ll instruct attendees to achieve set goals throughout the workshop with an emphasis on both candid and street portraiture.

Missing Persons

Three shots from 2023 represent a divergent turn from street photography. Street photography will always be a passion of mine. If anything, 2023 has opened my eyes to making art from my street photography and creating images that wouldn't really be considered street photography to more than a few pundits.
