A few weeks we hosted a diverse group of photographers for a short yet fruitful photo-exploration of Shekhawati.
Thanks to Fujifilm's wonderful team for not only supporting this idea shared at the beginning of the year whole-heartedly but also entrusting me with the curation of an itinerary that would engage a motley group like this.
We managed to explore quite a bit - havelis, streets, documentation of frescoes including demonstration of incredible tilt-shift GF30mm on GFX100II, holi festivity and even a review in the night.
Big thanks to Abhimanyu san for his technical and aesthetic insights, Rohit San for executing the minutest of details meticulously and Raja San for capturing the essence of it. Great support from GP Pro and Gaurav san ensured it was a seamless experience despite the usual glitches that crop up anytime.
Thanks to the wonderful hospitality by Vivaana Culture Hotel and personal supervision of Atulji and David that made our stay wonderfully memorable.
My gratitude also to Rajeshji for sharing his deep insights at the Ramayan Chattri.
And last but not the least a big shout-out to each of our participants who invested time and energy to explore something totally off the grid.
