NAVI MUMBAI: For those interested in photograph­y, Navi Mumbai has a number of options this summer.

One of them could be the photograph­y workshop by Gpreels in Kopar Khairne, which starts on April 6.

The eight-day workshop will be conducted over four weekends, every Saturday and Sunday, with a session on a different aspect of photograph­y each day.

“Our workshop is aimed at newcomers who are interested in learning technique. We will cover understand­ing of light, camera, studio equipment usage, different lenses, light painting and basics of photoshop,” said Gaurav Prabhu, co-founder. “Our three-hour long lectures will be divided in theory and practicals. We also conduct indoor and outdoor shoots, for which you can register on the spot,” he said.

The two-month wildlife photograph­y course at Dr Ceaser Photograph­y, a Vashi-based photo school, will start on Sunday. Divided into eight lectures to be held over eight Sundays, the course includes five indoor sessions and three field trips. “Our
