‘It is important to be a good photographer. It is even more important to be a responsible photographer.’

Jassi lives this motto.

Not every good photographer can explain concepts well. Jassi, though, is an amazing photographer and an excellent instructor. The real deal, however, is his social presence and interacting with the environment around him. Amazingly humble and non assuming, it is not difficult to know that any tour, with him as a mentor, is going to be loads of fun and learning.

I guess the Pushkar Fair is on the bucket list of many photographers – both professional and hobbyist alike- When I stumbled upon the Pushkar photo tour by Xploring Light, I quickly realized that this was adjacent to Xploring Rajasthan. That made my decision easy and I signed up for both these tours.

I must express that these were one of the best photo tours (cum workshops) I attended. Jassi -our mentor for Xploring Rajasthan – was very dedicated in creating and exploring photo opportunities for us participants. He did not carry his camera on some occasions so we had his undivided attention.
Secondly, the focus was on overall mentoring with emphasis on the pre-snapping thought process and not so much on the technical aspects of photography. Which helped me in understanding myself better as a photographer.
Thankfully this focus on mentoring carried over into the Pushkar tour with Rajneesh and Sonali. The critique/review sessions in the evening were especially helpful for me.

I came back with happy memories, good photos and great moments shared not just with the mentors but the whole group/s.

I would highly recommend Xploring Light to everyone.

I am certain to join Xploring Light on another photo adventure – until then…
