About The Tour

Embark on a 3 nights 4 days Macro Photography Masterclass Expedition in Coorg, one of the most enchanting monsoon destinations nestled in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. Known for its lush rainforests, rolling hills, and incredible diversity of flora and fauna, Coorg transforms into a macro photographer’s paradise during the rainy season.

Organized by DCP Expeditions, this masterclass is designed to help photographers of all skill levels learn and refine techniques in macro photography, especially focused on the elusive and vibrant amphibians, reptiles, and insects that thrive in the moist undergrowth. The monsoons breathe life into this ecosystem, revealing rare frogs, snakes, geckos, and an array of insects that are otherwise hidden from view.

With expert guidance from DCP’s masterclass mentor, participants will explore dense forests, wet forest floors, streams, and undergrowth to shoot unique and behaviorally rich images. The workshop includes modules on lighting techniques, diffuser use, composition, depth of field, and ethical field practices.

Whether you’re aiming to build your macro portfolio or simply immerse yourself in the wonder of Coorg’s rainforest biodiversity, this expedition is a perfect blend of learning and adventure.
