"“It was excellent. I was with Shivam for 12 days in Delhi and Jodhpur. I took over 4,000 pictures (street and some landscape) and got some of the best photos of my life. He knew perfect locations with lots of activity to work with.'"
"“Shivam put in an amazing effort to give us all an experience of a lifetime. You truly are a great business partner and a lifelong friend. I learnt a lot from you. The photography technique and your philosophy. The cultural experience and how colourful chaos seems to work. An attribute of an elite team is that when someone is in trouble, the whole team rallies around and gives the best support possible. Our team did that for me, and I will be forever grateful. For those of you who are travelling on, have fun and keep your sense of humour. Thank you all! Best wishes.”"

""This was an exceptionally well-organised trip. The photography guidance was great, with support and insight when needed. What made it truly special was Shivam’s joy, passion, and pride in sharing his country. His energy was infectious and made the whole experience both fun and meaningful. I came home with unforgettable memories and a collection of photographs I’m really proud of.""

""I personally spent 10 days with Shivam during my first visit to India with the sole purpose of developing my photography passion in a country that was unique, foreign and challenging coming from Australia. I had lost all drive and motivation after 17 years of photography for a variety of reasons. This changed in the first 3 days with this man. '"

"I've had an incredible time with this wonderful human by my side, who has served as my protector, guiding me through this beautiful country. Seeing India through his perspective has filled me with inspiration, and I couldn't have asked for a better companion. If you ever need assistance in India, please reach out to him - you won't be disappointed. He's the best person to travel with. Thank you for your friendship; our time together will always hold a special place in my heart.""

""It was so important to have a fixer who knows the ground — where to take me, where not to, and all the magic spots for those epic shots. He's been awesome and a delight to travel with.""
