Get All-In-One Pack

You've owned the camera for years. Most photos still don't look like the moment did.

It isn't the body. It isn't the lens. It's the thing nobody sold you with the gear: knowing what to do with it. That's what I teach. Every course I've made, in one place, for one payment.

₹2,500₹40,500

Buy the 23 courses separately and they add up to ₹40,500. As the All-Access bundle, it's ₹2,500 + GST. One time.

Sudhir Shivaram
Your Instructor

Learn from a photographer who still shoots for a living.

I started as an engineer. I picked up a camera in 1992, found wildlife in 1996, and began teaching in 2003. In 2013 I left the corporate job to do this full time.

Two years later I launched India's first subscription-based online photography platform. Since then I've taught tens of thousands of photographers, and the lesson that keeps repeating is this: the camera doesn't take the photograph. You do.

Everything I know from the field is inside these 23 courses. Not camera settings alone. The art of seeing.

Questions

Before you join.

How long does it take to get through?

There's no deadline and no schedule. Most students work through the core material in four to six weeks, but you keep lifetime access, so plenty of people return to a camera-specific course years later when they change bodies.

Do I need expensive equipment?

No. Start with whatever camera you already own. A large part of what I teach is how to get more out of the gear in your hands, and there's a full course on choosing your next camera and lens for when you're ready.

Is this only for wildlife photographers?

No. Wildlife is what I'm known for, but the library covers fundamentals, composition, exposure, light, camera operation and post-processing. Those apply to travel, street, portrait, event and product work equally.

I'm a complete beginner. Will I keep up?

Yes. The fundamentals course assumes no prior knowledge and builds step by step. Beginner with a kit lens or advanced on full-frame, both belong here.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. After completing each course you receive a certificate signed by me.

Is this a subscription?

No. It's a single payment of ₹2,500 + GST for lifetime access. Every course I release in future is added to your account automatically at no extra cost.

Where do I watch?

On the web, and on the iOS and Android apps. Your progress syncs across all of them.

Great photographs aren't luck.

They're the result of learning to see, then knowing exactly what to do about it. That's the whole job. Let me teach you it.
