In my nearly eight years of leading photography tours, helping to guide documentary crews, and five years of running the highest rated cultural tour in Varanasi, I have helped countless travelers and professionals explore and document the unique and mystical culture in our beautiful city. Every part of the tour can be tailored to your interests. If you wish, we can take out a boat for sunrise to capture the ghat or walk through the markets, and if you get hungry I can lead you to restaurants or street food that is safe to eat for travelers. With me, you will see a side of the city that is not usually available to travelers such as the Aghori Sadhus, traditional wrestling, and cremation ceremonies. These ceremonies are at the heart of spirituality in our city, and with my tour you will be welcomed by the local people here to photograph some of the most sacred moments of life.
For over 12 years, I have worked with world-famous photographers and documentary makers arranging their experiences to provide amazing images around India, with a specialty in the complex, chaotic and exceedingly magical City of Lights, Varanasi - the holiest city of India. Over this time, I have found that the mobile phone camera provides remarkable accessibility to the people on a more instant, comfortable, and humane level. Together, we will find out how to take photos of the holy men, everyday lives of workers, markets, industry, street scenes and the citizens of this incredible and diverse culture. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with those who are interested in learning to create beautiful images, whether you are a professional photographer, or a camera enthusiast or hobbyist.
