Attendees work one-on-one with instructors using Momenta’s proven packaging method to develop a series of photo essays from each daily location. Students explore the topics of ethnography, daily life, and the Hindu religion to develop a rich collection of photographs captured in this historical setting. Nightly lectures and close editing with instructors produces stunning travel narratives and build on daily skill exercises. Workshop participants can also opt to explore multimedia techniques which accentuate travel photo reportage.

Momenta’s narrative workshops, like those we offer in this series from in India, Myanmar, and Peru, rank among the most effective methods for aspiring photographers to develop the art of narrative photography. For each Level Two workshop, we choose acclaimed and accomplished photographers well versed in the art of the photo story. These instructors, matched with astoundingly photo-rich environments, work closely with students to help realize their potential as visual communicators.
