Problem is not in your camera, or the basic course you attended, or the techniques you learned. Challenge really is—how do you put it ALL together when you’re out on the field shooting? How can you create those images that you can be deeply satisfied and proud of?

How do you check the light? What camera settings should you use? What focus system and metering mode do you need for landscape, versus wildlife, versus portraits? Why does a professional photographer get those delicious bokeh and shallow depth of field, and you don’t? If composition is the king, can it be taught or do you have to have an inherent “eye” for it?

Bad results lead to self doubts, it leads to blaming your camera or lens, you blame it on the lack of your understanding of post-processing. And all this leads to falling out of love from a hobby that you were so passionate about. These are the days when you’re distracted and can’t focus. Days when you are one photograph away from announcing that you don’t want to do any photography again. Days when you think of putting your camera and lens on OLX or Quickr 🙂

If this sounds familiar, here’s what we think can help.

Imagine working with a mentor who works with you at a personal level. Someone who commits to understand the mistakes you’re making in photography. Someone who walks you through, and then hand holds you as you start to walk.

We are talking of a controlled environment where you don’t just learn theory in a class or practice the theory you’ve learned in some city park or hotel garden, but you actually get to shoot what you WANT to shoot. We are talking about taking you to a national park near you, a landscape hotspot in your city, or a birding lake within your reach. We are talking about theories (and No, not shutter speed and ISO and Aperture), and we talking about post-processing. And we are talking about doing this over and over, AND over again till you get tired, but have a broad smile of confidence.

Yes we are talking about a BOOT CAMP. And true to the spirit of any boot camp, these programs are designed to strengthen your technical knowledge AND your creativity for stronger composition and execution.

So what boot camp will do for you?

First—It will put everything in perspective. And truly everything. From giving the basic steps, to making things easy, to visualizing, composing and creating—all in live conditions.

Second—focus on SIMPLICITY. Simplicity is the secret. And it works. It will allow you to take a deep breath and give you a sense of focus. Focus in creating awesome photographs. It will ALSO teach you to not be everywhere.

Although boot camp is simple, it delivers results. It’s not just basic. It is basic++. It works on the foundations you already have and then it builds. It has one goal, and one goal only—To make you a better photographer. Holistically. Completely.

Boot camp is for someone who wants to jump on a scale of 0 (Lowest) to 10 (highest), from 2.5 to 6. This is all of the training, support and advice you’ll ever need.

Our boot camps are two day programs with or without accommodation, during which time we aim to provide as much learning as we possibly can in the chosen location. Its not just mastering the hardware and working with software, learning with us is all about how do you start thinking like a master story teller, illuminate those portraits, craft and control the light, visualize in color and perfect every frame.
