Photography Fixer and Guide in the Most Colorful Holy City

On the tour, you will have opportunity to see and photograph:

- striking images of holy men & saddhus

- the glorious sunrise

- activities on ghats including pilgrims immersing themselves in the holy river, cremation of bodies, rural fishing villages, and wrestling schools.

These opportunities are made possible by “photographic fixing” for professional and non-professional photographers, videographers and cultural adventurers.

PLEASE NOTE: It is possible and advisable to book more than 3 hours * An all-day tour is highly-recommended for most visitors.

For over 12 years, I have worked with world-famous photographers, documentary makers, Fujifilm workshops, arranging their experiences to provide amazing images around India, with a specialty in the complex, chaotic and exceedingly magical City of Lights, Varanasi - the holiest city of India. I have good connections with the local community and I can arrange virtually all scenarios for film crews, photographers, documentary makers, TV channels, and journalists. Some of my most requested subjects are: real Sadhus and Aghori (Holy men who eat dead human bodies), Naga baba (Holy men who live without clothing), Varanasi Wrestling schools, shoots at the flower Bazaar, the traditional laundry place (Dhobi Ghat) and of course, the Manikarna Burning Ghat (where bodies are cremated).

I am flexible and can work to the demanding, detailed requirements of a professional, or provide more relaxed arrangements for photography enthusiasts in more of a guiding role.
