"I loved clicking pictures but when it came to using my DSLR, I had zero confidence and skills. I tried learning everything myself but it was too confusing. That’s when Santosh came into the picture. He simplified the camera for me. We would do a lot of indoor + outdoor sessions on the concepts he taught. I understood the holy trinity, ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed, better. He reviewed each and every picture that I took and gave advice on how I could do better. I was sometimes lazy in practicing the concepts taught, but he would without fail reiterate the previous classes’s concept thus explaining me things again, things which I had forgotten. He was very patient with me. Never rushed me to finish off the course. Santosh is someone who has to be the best mentor out there for photography, who charges you by the concepts you learn and not by the hour. All in all it was a great user experience. "

"I started with a less than basic knowledge of photography and practically knew nothing of the features of a camera, except for the auto mode. Learning from someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Santhosh was engaging, effective and fun. Santhosh ensured the curriculum was tailor made to work with the camera that I possess and he taught me with a whole lot of patience. The one on one class is just perfect and I was able to learn at my own pace. Practice sessions were great. And the best thing, he is open to answering any questions that you may have even after you are done with your classes. Thank you Santhosh, for being such an amazing teacher. I had a lot of fun, learned a lot and have gained a whole new perspective about cameras and photography. Any of you out there wanting to take up photography as a hobby or for any specific reason, do sign up with Santhosh. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed. "

"I have had the opportunity to be mentored by Santosh on my photography skills through his preset module. The charm of our interaction was in the fact that I totally was able deviate him from his topics and skip hope to something else. Although, that was planned for a later stage, he captured my interest and without a blink would successfully cultivate the topic of my interest. He holds vast experience and his mentoring (teaching) methodology consists of his own work. That brings confidence in the mentee (learner) of being able to achieve those skills too. Learning at the comfort of his home does not give you the feeling of a class rather a family. You become part of them. The beauty is 1: 1 where his sole attention is on you and your needs & interest rather than a curriculum driven learning. I strongly recommend Santosh as he goes out of the way and improvises on his contents and methods based on learner's aptitude. His learning material is customized to your assets and just generic photography kits. He collected all the details of my camera, lenses and accessories to be able to tell when and how to use what. Thank you Santosh for all the learning and becoming my go-to person for all photography needs. From equipment to tricks and traits. "

"The best part of Santosh is his teaching methodology. It's a perfect blend of art and technology. His way of teaching opens up the eye of looking things from a different perspective, which I feel a must for a photographer. It also helps to raise one's urge to learn about photography. Once this is done, the technicalities of photography can be learnt easily, and this is why Santosh 's teaching style is unique and exciting. He also shares his experiences while clicking some photos and that helps a lot for understanding real life issues. Moreover he is extremely friendly and listens to his students with lot of patience and responds accordingly. I personally feel that my passion of photography took an effective turn after having his classes. He helps to play within the complete photography world starting from learning to selecting the gears. I consider Santosh as a real mentor than a professional teacher. I strongly recommend his session if someone wants to learn photography and also wish Santosh a best of luck for his upcoming days. "

"It is rare to find someone with so much talents and also having the ability to communicate effectively and provide an atmosphere that is inspiring to learn. He is an extremely enthusiastic and affirming instructor and I learned a lot to help me take my photographic skills to next level. His knowledge of photography and willingness to share that is a true gift. He taught me how to begin to "see " the world looking for color, textures and the simplicity of beauty. Now whenever I use a camera I ' see ' differently. Thank you so much for teaching me how to take great photos by adjusting composition, border control, exposure etc. I honestly think that for the first time I am really starting to understand my camera and how it works. He is having a natural ability to convey complex ideas in a clear and understandable way. I was really impressed with the amount of information he imparted and the practical application it was just spot on. I have taken away many useful ideas to apply to future photography session.His knowledge of photography is first class, he has a passion for photography which is in itself contagious.I would definitely recommend Mr.Santhosh to anybody who has an interest in photography; whether they be relatively experienced or a complete novice.

When I realised her eagerness and passion towards photography I start searching for photography classes and I found Mr Santosh through UrbanPro.

She enjoyed each and every class and her confidence short up, her love and passion towards photography grew to such an extent that she could take photography as a profession too. Thanks to Mr. Santosh, and may God bless him to reach New Heights! I thank Santosh for his passion dedication and time for taking such interesting classes.

"Aperture, ISO, depth of field, focul length, Tele photo, bokey, burst, etc. Thanks for the new words in my dictionary Santosh. Santosh tailor made the photography course for me and I commend his vast knowledge, experience and passion for photography. He starts off as " this guy ( DSLR) has this features and this big guy ( Tele photo lens) can do this and you need this guy (Tri pod) for your perfect shot. His discussions on light, length, focus and depth of field have been very interesting with his beautiful pictures from Scotland, beach sands, his kids and relatives. He recaps the previous session before proceeding to the next topic to have a perfect understanding. So much to say but thank you for your patient and fabulous guidance Santosh, hope to make you proud with my food pictures sometime and thank you for the excellent chai you made during our classes. Have a wonderful holiday in Scotland with your family. "
