Portrait & Fine Art Masterclass Workshop
28,29 & 30 August , GOA
Stories of Rain
A Three-Day Monsoon Photography Workshop
Every rain leaves behind a story.
This workshop is an invitation to slow down and discover it.
Created for photographers, artists, and visual storytellers, Stories of Rain is an intimate three-day experience that explores portraiture, atmosphere, and the quiet poetry of the monsoon.
Set amidst the rain-soaked landscapes of Goa, the workshop is led by artist and mentor Manoj Jadhav. Over three immersive days, we'll photograph in three carefully chosen locations, each offering its own light, textures, moods, and stories. You'll work with three professional models in private one-on-one portrait sessions, learning to respond to changing weather, natural light, and the unexpected moments that only the monsoon can create.
Rather than chasing perfect conditions, you'll learn to embrace imperfection to work with rain, mist, reflections, silence, and the ever-changing landscape as essential elements of your photographs.
Limited to just four participants, the workshop offers generous time for individual guidance, meaningful conversations, and creative exploration. It is designed for those who wish to move beyond simply making photographs and begin creating images with greater presence, emotion, and intention.
Come with your camera.
Leave with stories only the rain could have written.
