Workshop FAQ:

Q1) What happens here?
A1- We go out, walk, explore the city, shoot, unlearn the cliches, and discover the real soul of the street. We also redefine 'travel,' to even include a city we might belong to. Experienced photographers only attend some sessions, while new learners and enthusiast photographers attend all four sessions, including the ones covering the technical basics. 

Q2) Will there also be photography theory sessions?
A2- Yes

Q3) What camera should I bring?
A3 - Ideally, a Digital or Analog Single Lens Reflex (SLR or DSLR) camera. If you do not own one, tell us in advance, and we could rent one out for you (at your own cost and responsibility). Alternatively,you could also bring along any recent model (2-3 year old, max) digital camera which allows MANUAL EXPOSURE AND MANUAL FOCUS. We also allow "mirrorless" interchangeable lens compact cameras. 

Q4) What else should I bring?
A4 - Above all else, an open mind and a love for the outdoors.

Q5) OK, so what else should I bring?
A5 - The instruction manual of your camera and at least 8Gb of memory (or more) + your battery charger. If you do not have a copy of the instruction manual, a simple Google search will allow you to download and print it. If you have trouble doing this, let us know, and we'll help you. You can only participate in this workshop if you what you bring meets these these minimum requirements.

Q6) Do you cover videography, studio, fashion or wildlife photography?
A6 - No, not specifically. but the core of how and what you will learn here can be applied to ANY ART FORM, including painting, music or writing. 

Q7) Do you give a certificate on completion?
A7- NO.. We do not believe in certificates.
