DSLR, Unplugged - Workshop Synopsis
What this DSLR photography workshop is all about and why you need to take it.
DSLR, Unplugged
A meticulously designed concise & to-the-point Authoritative Weekend Photography Workshop in Mumbai – India, designed to instill a rock-solid foundation and understanding of precisely the skills you need to master your DSLR and help you make great photographs in the shortest possible time.
Meticullously Designed to cut the crap and get to the heart of the matter
Go on, admit it! You bought your DSLR, read the manual. And then you mentally went “Somebody help me! This frigging stuff is confusing the living daylights out of me! Could someone please cut through the crap and explain it to me in a fashion that I can understand and employ to master the DSLR?!?!?!”
Short answer: Yes, we can. And do.
To The Point
Cut straight to the chase. Do you really need to learn stuff like Image Sensor Types, Camera Formats, The History of Photography and all that jazz?
Short answer: No. We won’t pile you with history-shistory, format-shormat, sensor-shensor or any stuff that does not contribute towards mastering your DSLR! No sh*t, but our time is precious, and we believe so is yours!
The Complex made Simple
All those controls on your DSLR can be quite confusing. Scary actually. And then all those technical terms that are part and parcel of a DSLR. Stuff like “Aperture Priority Mode”, “Shutter Priority Mode”, “Manual Mode”, “ISO”, and the list goes on. And it scares and confuses you more. And you put your expensive DSLR away. Or use it in Auto Mode.
Technical jargon can befuddle the best of us, and the fastest way to get lost in that maze of technicalities is to not have the benefit of having a competent and passionate trainer explain things to you in the simplest – yet most comprehensive – fashion.
It really doesn’t have to be that way, you know. Great Teachers can Simplify without Distortion
Bridge the Gap between the Camera & You
With twenty five years of experience as a photographer, I know what you really need to learn. With three decades of experience as a trainer and public speaker, I know how to teach.
Put simply, I know what it takes to make the camera an extension of your body and mind. And, I know how to communicate it! I’m here to bridge that gap between your DSLR and You!
Ready to bridge the gap? Ready to step onto the Dance-floor that is your DSLR?
What You'll Learn
A brief look at the topics covered in the DSLR Photography Workshop
Master your DSLR, Part 1: Understanding Light
They call Photography “painting with light”. I prefer to call it Dancing with Light . And you can’t dance with that lovely lady that is Light until you’ve really, really understood her, and can read and gauge her many moods and forms. In this module of the DSLR, Unplugged Photography Workshop you’ll learn how to do just that. Topics covered include:

Master your DSLR, Part 2: Dancing With Light
Having understood that sometimes-fair-and-sometimes-dusky maiden called Light , the DSLR, Unplugged Photography Workshop moves on to teaching you how to Dance with Light – sometimes to her tune, and sometimes get her to dance to your’s. Topics covered include:
- Exposure Modes – Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority & Manual Mode

Last words
Are we really that different from the plethora of other DSLR Workshops? And if so how?
You can bet your sweet patootie we are!
How? Well, let me put it this way…
Anybody can teach you how to press buttons and turn knobs and dials,
But not every person can teach you How To Make Your DSLR Dance and Sing!
