Student Testimonial

Before joining Viraj sir’s Signature Fashion Course, I had no idea how professional studio shoots actually worked. The live sessions with real models completely changed how I see light and composition. Learning advanced lighting setups hands-on — not just from theory — was a game changer. I walked away with a portfolio I’m genuinely proud to show clients.

I had been shooting weddings for three years but always wanted to break into fashion and advertising. Viraj sir’s course gave me the exact industry knowledge I was missing — from directing models and working with stylists to post-processing for high-end print. His real-world experience with brands like Mahindra and Coca-Cola really shows in how he teaches commercial standards.

This course apart is Viraj sir himself. He doesn’t just teach — he mentors. The module on lighting for different model faces and personalities was something I had never seen taught anywhere else. The on-field live shoots and the focus on building a professional portfolio helped me land my first paid fashion assignment within two months of completing the course.
