With Omkar Kocharekar

One day photography workshop on the 23rd and 24th February, 2019

Only 12 Seats for the 23rd

Only 12 Seats for the 24th

For the first time ever, GMax Studios offers an opportunity for students to rise above the notion that “it takes years to master the camera.” In a single day, you can learn things that can make a difference in your pictures overnight.

Bridge the gap between ‘what you see’ and ‘what you get’

While this workshop does feature a quick brush-up of the concepts of photography, it focuses more on the aspect of taking pictures, understanding the modes of a camera and developing a ‘good eye’, which will eventually reduce the effort and enhance the quality of your pictures.

The workshop will be conducted by photographer and photojournalist, Omkar Kocharekar
