A photograph isn't just a frame,
about kapil left

For me, photography is like seeking around for elements and bringing them together to curate a story! Light Flares, background, foreground, bokeh, geometry, weather, symmetry, and minimalism are some of my favourite subjects! These elements are my primary subject, and the actual subject is secondary! So, If these subjects fascinate you, and ONLY if you want to UNLEARN the old framing concepts and RELEARN the new concepts of storytelling through a picture, then hop onto this multi-day workshop with us
