The not-so-colorful India
India is often depicted as a colorful country – just take the Holy Festival – but we were looking for a workshop with a different approach. Andreas H. Bitesnich shows another side of India that is very fascinating and that we found so enticing that we knew he would be the perfect expert to run our India workshop in 2020. Andrea’s photography shows many facets of India and perfectly portrait the travel & portrait photography destination it is – from Indian culture, faith, and heritage to landmarks, cities, and wildlife, as well as its everyday life and ancient monuments.
Having been to India multiple times, Andreas is well acquainted with the workshop locations and can give valuable advice on how to best capture the local scenery and people. As always, the workshop will be split into two parts – educational seminars and hands-on lessons on location.

The Better Moments India workshop will take place 31 October – 8 November 2020.
The 9-day workshop will commence in India’s bustling capital New Delhi and continue to popular landmarks such as Amber Fort and the iconic Taj Mahal. The group will visit “The Blue City” of Jodhpur and travel through the scenic semi-desert around Jaipur. Via night train, the participants will travel to Varanasi, the holy city on the river Ganges, to photograph the magical ceremonies taking place on the river banks, before flying back to Delhi.
