Photography has always been on my bucket list since childhood, but I never really got the chance to pursue it—until now. A heartfelt thank you to Dharmesh Sir for making it possible and accessible at such an affordable cost.
His teaching style is truly one of a kind—engaging, inspiring, and filled with stories that stick with you. Not once did I feel bored during the 8-week journey. More than just photography, he helped us shift our perspective—teaching us how to see, not just look.
Thanks to him, I’ve not only picked up photography as a hobby but also discovered a new way of observing the world around me through the lens.
Forever grateful for this experience.
P.S. Sharing a few pictures I clicked during the course as I began my photography journey. Still learning, but loving every moment of it!
