YouTube Channel
My YouTube channel is an extension of the tours and workshops I personally lead in Kolkata. Each episode explores the exact locations where I host workshops — from bustling markets to quiet lanes filled with everyday life. I share real-time shooting decisions, practical street photography techniques, and insights into approaching strangers, working with natural light, and finding strong compositions in unpredictable environments.
Playlist one
On-location episodes shot at the exact spots where I run workshops. Real streets, real light, real decisions made in the moment.
"The streets don't wait. Neither does the light. Every episode is shot in real time — no retakes, no setups." — Shivam Pandey
Each video in this series is an honest document of how I actually work on the street. I don't script the moments, I don't reset the scene. You see exactly how I read a location, how I approach people, how I manage light that isn't cooperating, and how I make decisions under pressure.
That transparency is deliberate. It's the same philosophy I bring to every tour and workshop — there's no formula, there's no trick. There's just presence, patience, and a willingness to keep looking until something true appears.
Playlist two
In-depth videos focused on composition, light, timing, and storytelling. Designed to build confidence and sharpen observation skills — wherever you shoot.
The videos show you the streets. The tours put you on them. Join a workshop and experience Kolkata through the lens with Shivam.
