Mentor: Mr Ashok Kandimalla

This workshop is designed for photographers who would like to improve their images without spending too much time in post-processing. It will serve those who want to learn Lightroom Classic as well those who are already using the software but want to brush up on their knowledge

Workshop will cover the Library and Develop Modules of Lightroom Classic. (Lightroom, which is cloud-based, is not included) 

To make the workshop more relevant and useful, it will not cover every command nor every option in a command like what some workshops do. Rather it will be oriented towards preparing photographers to process their images in the best possible way

This workshop is a ‘get your feet wet’ type of introduction. While going through the workshop will certainly give you the knowledge to process any image, you will need to practice the software to become an expert

All demo images, a sample library and a workshop guide will be supplied

Mentor: Arindam Thokder

Street photography is a captivating art form that thrives on capturing the raw, unfiltered essence of everyday life in urban environments. But for me, the true delight lies in uncovering connections between seemingly unrelated scenes and then finding the hidden stories within the chaos of the streets. It could be something as simple as the vanished yellow coin phone or the sight of cows wandering the roads without a care – I love revealing the rhythm and flow of city life by uncovering these connections that offer the viewers a fresh perspective to immerse themselves in the diverse experiences of the urban landscape
