Nature Knights in association with IndianShutter.com invites you to sign up for this amazing 2 day workshop that moves from a “Snap Shot to a Photograph”.

 

Held in the pristine, zero pollution climes of Matheran, a hill station, IndianShutter will take you through an intensive experience guaranteed to change the way you use your camera forever.

 

Through late evening magentas and reds, to early morning blues and yellows, we expose you to light, cameras and the capability to grab stills and moments like you’ve never ever done.

 

Dedicated faculties, equipped with both the art and science of photography, take you step by step through techniques, trainings and assignments. A combination of in-house, and outdoor learning and practical lessons, combined with critique and discussions ensure a full learning and feedback cycle guaranteed to bring out the best in you.

 

A low number of attendees, and faculties dedicated to addressing needs of these numbers closely ensure that you get all the attention you deserve to make this a memorable event.

 

And of course, not to forget walking through pristine, zero-motor vehicle glades that filter the sun in a myriad ways and treat your eyes to nature at its best.
