My Journey in Photography
With over 30 years of experience in the media industry, I, Dharmendra Kanani, have carved a niche in the field of photography and education. My journey began in Mumbai, where I pursued diplomas in Drawing, Painting, and Art Teaching from the esteemed Sir J J School of Art. This foundational education paved the way for a prolific career, allowing me to capture iconic moments and contribute to timeless projects like ‘Phir Mile Sur Mera Tumhara’ and ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’.
My expertise is not confined to the camera lens; it extends to nurturing budding photographers. As a certified digital marketing expert and a master craftsman in digital photography from Shari Academy Mumbai, I offer a comprehensive range of photography courses. These courses are designed to cater to beginners and seasoned photographers alike, with practical shoot opportunities and personalized home tuitions.
The culmination of my experiences, both behind the camera and in front of the classroom, led to the establishment of a small in-house production house. This venture focuses on brand promotions and filmmaking, adding another dimension to my professional journey.
A Vision for Learning and Creativity
My philosophy as an educator and photographer is deeply rooted in the belief that learning is a lifelong journey. I strive to instil this ethos in my students, encouraging them to explore the depths of their creativity while mastering technical skills.
The courses I offer cover a wide spectrum of photography, from the basics to advanced studio lighting. I understand that each student is unique, which is why my courses include personalized attention and practical experience. Whether through private home tuitions or group sessions, I aim to equip students with the confidence and expertise needed to excel in this art form.
In my capacity as an educator, I am committed to creating an environment that fosters innovation and artistic expression. By combining my extensive industry experience with a passion for teaching, I aim to inspire the next generation of photographers to see the world through their unique lens.
