Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of ethnic, religious and cultural events and gain invaluable insights to elevate your own practice.

In this inspiring talk, travel, portrait and documentary photographer, Tony Smith, will take you on a journey to several of India’s holiest sites and three of the most important Hindu Festivals.

You’ll discover the significance of ‘Sacred Water’ to the Hindu psyche and how it plays a crucial part in their lives, from birth to death and reincarnation – an invaluable insight if you plan to visit India in the future.

Tony works at a fast pace with little time to re-set his camera or review his images – so he’ll share his camera settings and lens choices and explain how he integrates his smartphone to cope with this.

You’ll learn how to plan your holiday or photo trip around a religious event, without relying on travel agencies in your home country, who may lack the inside knowledge.

Finally, he will touch on the best software, hardware and cloud options to edit and back up your images when travelling.

Tony is an Associate member of the RPS Travel Group and has published several articles in their ‘Travel Log’. He’s a member of Winchester Photographic Society and holds the Distinction of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain.
