Riot of Colours

Photo Walk to century old City Market

The century-old City Market, also known as K. R. Market, continues to thrive in the heart of Bengaluru.

In a city known for its tech parks, multiplexes, and soaring malls, the pace and pulse of City Market stand apart. Despite its age, the market still caters to the everyday needs of a fast-evolving, modern city. On this walk, you’ll witness its colors, contrasts, and controlled chaos — a place where Bengaluru sources its freshest flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

Street photography has its charm, and there’s no better place to experience it than here. Join me on this walk — take in the sounds and scenes of the market, and turn them into compelling frames. Whether you use a DSLR or your smartphone, the stories are waiting to be captured.

Frame century-old City Market  is a street photography walk at the historic K.R. Market — named after Mysore King Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV — in Bangalore. Also, known as City Market, it is one of the city’s oldest and most vibrant bazaars. Just about everything reaches its peak in the early hours before sunrise — right when the first edition of the daily newspapers is being distributed across the city. You’ll witness this electrifying pace firsthand during our walk as the market peaks in activity through the early morning, slows down during the day, and picks up pace again by late evening. 

 

This experiential session offers the chance to observe and capture raw street life and people — from the early morning buzz of traders, retailers, metal wholesalers to the colorful chaos of the beautiful flower market. You’ll engage with the market’s visual intensity — its pulse, pace, and stories — through the lens, guided by your photography lead - both prior to the walk and on-the-field during the walk.

Life Happens on the Streets - and you will get to witness and frame this in your images.

TESTIMONIALS

"Photo Walk to K R Market was an eye-opening experience!"

"It offered me a glimpse into a vibrant world of colors, sounds, and people. It wasn’t just a cultural exploration, but also my first step into the world of photography.

I’ve always wanted to learn photography, but feared it was too late to start. However, with Hema’s patient guidance and clear explanations on the go, I felt completely supported. I was able to immerse myself in the practice, and hours flew by without me even feeling the long walk or the crowds. I felt accompanied all the way and found myself absorbed for hours seriously practicing with my camera as I've dreamt.

 

I’m grateful for this introduction and will definitely continue my photography journey further with Hema - Thank You, Hema!
