Portrait Photography - Intensive workshop and photowalk with Sanjiv Valsan in Mumbai - Andheri West

An intense 2 day (18 hours) intensive 360 degree photography workshop centered around storytelling through portraits. Participants will learn the craft of meaningful and striking portraits, both outdoor and indoor portraits, colour black and white, but also manual camera use, styling shoots and post-processing and sorting raw images.

Experience level: Open to learners of all levels. Batch size will be small to improve individual interaction quality and maintain safety, given the pandemic. Basic to intermediate level learners will begin from the basics of manual exposure, while more advanced learners will be guided through studio light operation, observation skills, composition and storytelling.
