Munnar Creative Macro Photography Workshop with Jayanta Guha
 
Dates: 27-30 November, 2026
Duration: 3 Nights / 4 Days
Location: Munnar, Kerala
Workshop Fee: ₹35,000 per person (Twin Sharing)
Starting Point: Ex-Cochin (Kochi)
Group Size: Limited Participants
 
Immerse yourself in the mist-covered rainforests of Munnar, nestled in the heart of the Western Ghats—one of the world's most celebrated biodiversity hotspots. During the monsoon, these forests come alive with an incredible diversity of endemic frogs, reptiles, insects, spiders, fungi, and other fascinating rainforest life. This immersive macro photography workshop is designed for photographers who want to go beyond documenting species and create artistic, story-driven images of nature's smallest wonders.
 
Under the mentorship of Jayanta Guha, you'll learn how to transform ordinary subjects into extraordinary photographs using light, composition, depth, color, and creative vision. Every rainforest trail becomes a classroom where you'll refine both your technical skills and artistic approach. The workshop emphasizes creative observation, ethical field practices, patience, and intentional image-making—helping you develop a unique visual style rather than simply collecting photographs of rare species.
