Jaipur City Photography Tour with Guide and DSLR Workshop
Spend three hours moving from studio basics to street practice in Jaipur’s historic streets. This private photography workshop combines DSLR instruction with guided shooting at markets, monuments and hidden corners of the Pink City.
The Experience
Before You Go
Charge and format your cards
Bring fully charged batteries and at least one empty memory card to maximize shooting time; instructors run practical drills you won’t want to miss.
Respect portrait etiquette
Ask before photographing individuals in markets and offer a small tip or smile; vendors and locals respond better to polite interaction.
Timing for light
Schedule early morning or late afternoon shoots for gentler light and fewer crowds, especially at major monuments.
Hydration and breaks
Carry a refillable water bottle and take short breaks in shaded courtyards between shooting locations to avoid overheating.
