Bhupender Makkar

Photography and video professional with over 30 years of continuous, hands-on experience spanning studio, event, wedding, corporate, and commercial production. Has trained and guided junior photographers and videographers on set, coordinated shoots end-to-end, and mentored teams through the practical, real-world skills that a classroom cannot teach — camera handling, lighting, composition, client management, and post-production discipline. Brings deep working knowledge of both film-era and modern digital camera systems, making him equally comfortable teaching foundational technique and current industry workflows.

Well suited to a Photography Mentor role that calls for patient, experience-led guidance rather than theoretical instruction alone.
