" I had bought a DSLR 2 years back to explore the creative side of me but unfortunately kept clicking pictures in auto mode. Honestly was quite frustrated and tried to learn a lot of tricks online but nothing really worked, I am amazed how a single day workshop has changed my perspective for using a DSLR. I learnt it in just a few hours and with practice, I am sure my pictures would improve. I am sure I will be attending many more sessions conducted by You. Thanks again! "

" The five-hour F.A.S.T. workshop session with Girish made a huge impact on how I use my DSLR. I am a complete newbie, but thanks to Girish's lucid teaching style based on analogies, I was able to understand the basics of depth of focus, ISO, aperture, exposure setting among many other things. The level of personal attention to each learner in this workshop was extraordinary. I would highly recommend this workshop to any beginner. "

" As a novice, this was very exciting. It was not just a classroom session but a lot of interaction and fun. Indeed it was a great session! 5 hours well spent. It definitely shed light on the elements that make up a great photograph and some food for thought. It's great that you now have a page on Facebook, so we can follow you and learn more. Looking forward to more..... "

" Wasn't I in for a shock when I tried to take my first picture on automatic and the camera came up with an error message saying that the flash wouldn't work and wouldn't take a picture!!!!!
However, I decided to try taking a picture in the manual mode. I took a picture that came out too dark. So I fiddled around with the ISO and got the photo's with the correct lighting! I was so proud of myself and thankful for Girish's excellent teaching so that I was able to know what to do. "

" Doing photography and playing with my camera is one of my craziest hobbies. I have gone through many websites for tutorials, but hardly any website helped me. But when I attended the Girish Menon Photography workshop (Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T.) is the Best training I have ever had in my career. I didn't believe there was so much to learn! The training was very useful and enjoyable. He is a talented and strong communicator. I will certainly continue to engage him in future. "



Veena Manjrekar attended the Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. workshop.



" For me, the session was an eye-opener of many things that I never knew about my DSLR. Few functions which I was already practicing, got a better perspective about it. It was fun to sit and learn with people from diff age groups and diff fields sharing the same passion and objective. "



Jolly Thomas attended the Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. workshop.



" It was great enlightenment in DSLR photography with a touch of "simplicity". I was struggling to operate my DSLR with whatever information available on the net. Post your session, I'm very confident with my DSLR and very happy. Now I can fulfill my passion for photography to the fullest! Please keep it up such good work. "

" The concepts are clear now and now I am in total command with regard to aperture and shutter speed. "



Varun Papneja attended the Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. workshop.



" The workshop was indeed excellent. I had a wonderful experience on your inaugural LIGHT IT UP! workshop. I actually learned lighting techniques and understood how to make a good portrait by using studio lights and reflectors and last but not least, Light meters. I actually learned they play a very important role and it makes easy for a photographer to play in Manual mode by changing the values of shutter speed and aperture. Thank you so much for the superb workshop. I am looking forward for more workshop on studio lights. "



Dolly Bhavsar attended the LIGHT IT UP! workshop.



" Your FAST workshop was great....and I have never used any other mode apart from MANUAL ever since. I believe it was time and money well invested.
And the Light IT UP! workshop...Don't have enough words. It was fun, inspiring and taught-full. This workshop taught me many things about portrait photography. Now even I can click good pictures of people around me.
Your style is really good. It helps us understand and learn in a better manner along with great fun-filled practice sessions. "



Maity Gautam attended the Master Yor DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. and LIGHT IT UP!



" Dear Girish, Thank you so much. It was a wonderful program. For so many years I wanted to learn this but somehow never got such an opportunity which was just I needed and as per the time convenient and from a person like you who has all the patience to bear with raw people like me. "



Sucheta Kulkarni attended the Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. workshop.



" I am very happy with the decision which I took to attend your workshop for DSLR. As mentioned the reason to join the workshop was to know a little bit of configuration & to correctly /perfectly make use of the DSLR which was gifted by son to mi long back. The session was quite knowledgeable & crisp for the user at the primary stage. Secondly, it was not just theoretical but the time is given to us to practically use it & understand the results were remarkable. Shall join you soon with the next coming sessions. Thank you. "



Geeta Shirolkar attended the Master Your DSLR Camera F.A.S.T. workshop.



" This was my first photography related workshop and I don’t think I could have asked for a better learning experience. You were so patient with each and every one of us at every step of the workshop. I really appreciated how we instantly put into test what we learnt from the practical exercises. I definitely feel more confident using my DSLR now that my understanding of its functions are clear. "
