I booked this photography day at the end of my stay in Varanasi. I had already been on a guided tour in the town listening to stories about temples, goddesses and history. Now I wanted spend a day out with a photographer, exploring and viewing Varanasi life from a completely different perspective. And I was so pleased I made that decision. I have come back with many images that are far better than I could have taken alone without the professional guidance.
Manoj met me at my hotel early and took me to various locations in the town where we began photographing street scenes. Being his friendly chirpy self, he spoke to many individuals along the way, inviting them to become part of our collection of pictures. Manoj provided guidance around settings and light, framing, space, crowding, colour, what to leave in and out of an image, talked about distractions in images, and generally building confidence to ask someone if you can take their picture.
It was a fabulous day and I highly recommend Manoj if you are looking for someone who will patiently teach you how to take better photographs.
