Meet your Mentor
Hi, I'm Vikram Virulkar
I started on my journey to capture the night skies because I needed good photographs to show people how my stargazing sessions work. Little did I know that it would in turn spark a insatiable desire to take amazing pictures of the night sky. Just like my passion for the stars resulted in me taking sessions for Stargazing across India, I realized I also want to share my knowledge and my passion for Astrophotography.
​
I've been to Ladakh multiple times and I can personally vouch that its one of the best places to shoot Astro and during the day, no matter where you turn your camera, the frames just happen to create themselves.
Not only shall I help you take better overall pictures but also teach you to not commit the same mistakes I did on my journey which I believe to the most important takeaway for an instructor, to make sure his participants learn from his mistake.
If you have shot Wildlife or Landscape, Portraits or Street. Fashion or Product. Astrophotography is undeniably within your reach. Its unique challenges and serene field work are well, "Out of this world"
​
So, Step out of your comfort zone and come shoot the stars with me.
I look forward to meeting you and going on this amazing adventure with you. Drop a message if you would like to speak about something related to this tour or talk about Astro in general.
