One month ago we led a small workshop (8 people) to Rajasthan in India and had an epic experience as a group of photographers.
This blog post is just a short look at some behind the scenes images showing our little gang shooting around Pushkar, Jaipur and Delhi over the week, and most of all a reflection of how much FUN we all had together in such an amazing place.
We will be heading back to India in just a few months time in February 2014, this time deeper into Rajasthan to Jodhpur, details of that workshop can be seen here:

That aside, here is a look behind the scenes at our last Rajasthan workshop, which was held in November 2013.
