You don’t take a photograph, you make it – Ansel Adams
We at Xploring Light understand the priceless statement by the legend Ansel Adams. Owning a camera makes you a camera owner but to become a photographer you need to understand the nuances of “Making an Image.”
Today photography has become an integral part of our life. The allure of photography is wonderful; to some it is the best possible stress buster. They get drawn to this magical field and “feel” connected to the peace within. To others, its become a part of their inner soul.
Whatever section you belong to, there is one common desire to improve this art of photography. Our workshops with their extremely unique content help you to understand this craft like never before.
