Europe and the U.S.A. were too expensive and way beyond my wallet. I joined the Shari Academy. Their 2 years Mastercraftsman Diploma was not only affordable but also was more intense then any available abroad. I found great value for money as well as the opportunity of staying and capturing images of exotic India and bollywood Mumbai. Winner of Mastercraftsman of the year 2005, Best Fine Art Photography Award 2005, Best People/Portrait Photography Award 2005.

My relatives and friends from India highly recommended the Shari Academy in Mumbai. The school had contemporary infrastructure and seasoned practicing photographers as faculty. Today I am back in Kuwait having a very lucrative job in a professional photography studio. I thank the Shari Academy for giving me such a head start in my imaging career.Winner of Exhibitor Category, PIEA (U.S.A. ) International Student Teacher Competition, 2005.

I learned a lot of the basic stuff I'd missed by being self-taught, as well as gaining a solid basic grounding in the studio and digital areas I was looking for. The emphasis was on hands-on practice and practical experience rather than theory. For any one wanting to study commercial photography in India, I'd say the Shari would be a viable and worthwhile choice.
