About
Varanasi is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, and it carries that weight in everything, in the way people move, in the quality of light on the ghats, in the rituals that happen before dawn and long after sunset. Most photographers come and shoot the obvious. We're here for something else. This workshop is about slowing your eye. Finding what's between the obvious moments. Building frames that say something specific rather than something general. Varanasi rewards patience. That is exactly what we are going to find.
