Offered in: English

My name is Manoj, a professional photographer and photography workshop leader from Varanasi, India, working since 2008. I specialize in spiritual portrait photography and street documentary photography, focusing on Sadhus, Naga Sadhus, Aghoris and India's diverse communities and traditions. As a photographer and creative director, I develop unique photographic concepts and guide photographers in improving their creative vision, composition, natural lighting, framing, backgrounds and visual storytelling. Through personalized one-to-one and small-group workshops, I share my knowledge and experience with patience, helping photographers of all levels develop their skills and discover their own creative style. My approach goes beyond taking photographs; it is about connecting with people, understanding their stories and capturing the authentic spirit of India. Varanasi is my home, my inspiration and the heart of my photographic journey.
