I had to travel to chennai for a week and all I had was a week, to learn the basics. I was skeptical if there would be anybody who would be ready to schedule classes to my convenience. Then I found reviews about Viswa sir's photography
- classes which had 5/5 rating. I approached him the next second and he was
- kind enough to schedule a one on one class for me. His major advantage is
- his patience to teach his students 'n' number of times even if they did not
- understand certain things. Very flexible, highly patient, very friendly in
- terms of teaching approach. Overall it was a fantastic opportunity to learn
- from him. Not just that. The good part is, he is even available for you
- even after your course gets over. Amazing. Isn't it? :)',
