"The South India Photo Workshop was an amazing experience in so many ways. We were privileged to photograph people not accessible on a regular tour or other photo trips. I loved that we met and photographed people with ancient trades: silk weavers, basket-weaving women. This workshop also had so many spiritual experiences: the temple in Madurai, the death rituals temple and the Matrimandir in Auroville. Every day was a new photo adventure."

INTRODUCTION

This is not a tour. It is a deeply immersive photography workshop with close mentorship and rare access to spend real time with people.

Join us on a 14-day journey through quiet Tamil Nadu in South India, where beautiful ritual and ancient traditions are everywhere. Over several trips, I have personally designed every element of this workshop.

We’ll photograph in Chennai, Chettinad, Kumbakonam, Pondicherry, and Auroville, with rare opportunities to spend real time with artisans, silk weavers, basket-weaving women, gurus, and visionaries.

We stay in luxury hotels and charming guesthouses and learn from wonderful local experts.

Limited to 6 - 8 guests.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We stay several nights in each hotel, so we are not always packing up and moving to the next place.

Our coach is comfortable, with plenty of room to spread out, and we take only one internal flight.

Guests always know what is going on with a clear schedule.

As with all my workshops, you can expect a seamlessly run, highly professional trip, with great attention to detail.

There will be great learning with on-location guidance, educational classes, group projections, and private critiques.

All photography experiences are designed to allow guests to photograph with space and time.

All levels of photographers are welcome, including those who use smartphones.

Spouses/partners who have no strong interest in photography are welcome.
