WHO ARE WE?
We have a deep appreciation for landscapes, and thus, we organize meticulously designed workshops that cater to a small number of participants in some truly awe-inspiring locations around the world. Utilizing our extensive knowledge of these exquisite places, our objective is to provide you with abundant opportunities to capture stunning photographs, all while honing your skills through expert guidance both in the field and during post-processing sessions, which will enhance the quality of your images significantly.
Our team of instructors boasts decades of experience in landscape photography across the globe. Throughout the years, we have uncovered the optimal times, viewpoints, and hidden spots that are typically inaccessible to most explorers. Furthermore, we collaborate with local guides who possess an intimate understanding of these locations, granting us exclusive access to areas forbidden to regular tourists.
To ensure an intimate and personalized experience, our workshops are limited to only 4 to 8 participants. This allows us ample time to interact with each individual in the field. Right from the start, we will determine your photography skill level and areas of interest, enabling us to tailor the sessions precisely to your needs. This ensures that you receive customized one-on-one instruction in both fieldwork and post-processing sessions.
Given the popularity of our landscape photography workshops, we urge you to secure your spot expeditiously to avoid missing out on an extraordinary adventure. If you have a particular workshop in mind, please contact us via email or subscribe to our newsletter to be among the first to receive notification when a new workshop is launched.
OUR PROS
Monish Mansharamani | Founder + Pro Photographer
Monish Mansharamani is a professional landscape and travel photographer based in Oregon. He is completely self-taught and has years of experience in medium format shooting, guiding photo tours, and teaching digital post-processing techniques. His specialization lies in capturing stunning panoramic photographs of fine art landscapes from the United States and beyond.
The majority of his photographs are taken with a superior medium format digital camera, which allows for incredible detail to be captured. His approach to photography is a "slow photography" technique, where he takes his time to carefully observe the scene and capture only a few or a dozen exposures in a span of two hours. This process enables him to truly perceive the essence of the scene and let it reveal itself. Each photograph he captures is unique, and he dedicates a significant amount of effort to ensure that the final image is a true work of art by meticulously processing the image.
As a landscape photographer, his goal is to present views of the natural world in a fresh and unique way. He achieves this through careful composition, attention to detail, and the creative use of beautiful light.
Currently, he fulfills his lifelong dream by leading Adventure Photography workshops all over the world through his company Aventura Workshops LLC.
Sush Mansharamani | Manager of Logistics and Client Services
I have always had a passion for experiencing new things. Whether it involves discovering new recipes, exploring different locations, learning dance routines, or trying out a new craft, I am always ready for an adventure.
During my late teenage years, I started traveling and it had a profound impact on my outlook on life. Ever since then, I have visited numerous diverse destinations, and each trip has provided me with a fresh and unique experience. I have gained extensive knowledge about various cultures, cuisines, and ways of living. Meeting new individuals and exchanging stories about our journeys is something that I thoroughly enjoy.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL PLEDGE
Our goal is to make our workshops carbon neutral, and to achieve this, we have partnered with Sustainable Travel International. This partnership ensures that our carbon footprint is offset and our environmental impact is minimized. Sustainable Travel International collaborates with local communities, governments, and businesses to invest in projects that aim to protect ecosystems, reduce the carbon footprint of tourism, and decrease waste and pollution caused by the industry.
Furthermore, we strongly believe in working with local suppliers whenever possible. By doing so, we contribute to supporting the local economies and communities. Additionally, we adhere to a "leave no trace" policy during our workshops. This policy ensures that the stunning landscapes and natural environments we encounter are left untouched and exactly as we found them.
