"As I was trained in analogue photography, I have adapted a disciplined style of photography. I shifted to digital photography because analogue cameras are more expensive," says Hema.

In the workshop, Nuts & Bolt, Hema will teach the basics of photography and the technical elements to create good pictures including the functions of aperture, wide balance, focal length and shutter speed. "We will start the session with module of light, explaining the type and texture of light and the best times to shoot a photo and eventually we will go out to shoot pictures," says Hema.

At the end of the workshop, the participants can post pictures in a data center, student portfolio album for a review of their work. Hema holds this workshop every month with a bunch of 10 to 12 students and often sees her students return for her next sessions.
