I am a documentary photographer and photojournalist with more than 25 years of professional experience in photography and visual storytelling. Over the years, I have worked extensively on documentary, street, travel and heritage photography projects across India, photographing diverse cultures, communities and everyday life. My work has been published in international and Indian publications including BBC, National Geographic, Newsweek, Al Jazeera, The Sunday Times, India Today and The Times of India. My teaching experience includes mentoring aspiring photographers at Pixel Village, where I guided participants in documentary photography, street photography, visual storytelling and the development of long-term photographic projects. Through both formal mentoring and one-on-one guidance, I have helped students build technical skills, improve their photographic vision and develop confidence in their work. My classes cover the fundamentals of photography, including camera handling, exposure, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, composition, lighting and visual design. Beyond technical knowledge, I focus on observation, timing, storytelling and understanding how photographs can communicate ideas and emotions. Students learn not only how to make a technically correct image but also how to create photographs that have meaning and impact. Depending on the student's interests, classes may include street photography techniques, documentary practice, travel photography, image editing, photo selection, sequencing and portfolio development. I encourage students to explore their own interests and develop a personal visual style rather than simply copying established approaches. My teaching is highly practical and draws upon real-world experience gained through years of professional photography. I use examples from assignments and documentary projects to demonstrate concepts and encourage critical thinking about photography. Whether working with complete beginners or experienced photographers seeking to strengthen their storytelling abilities, my goal is to provide clear guidance, constructive feedback and a supportive learning environment that helps students grow both technically and creatively.
