That’s me, taking a shot at myself.
Welcome to APN Photography School. My name is Shivanand Sharma and I’m the person behind apnphotographyschool.com. I’m a photography enthusiast and while it’s not how I make my living – I’m the go-to person in my circle when it comes down to photography. And while I pursue photography as one of my passions I’d like to share what I read, learn, the mistakes that I make and everything else photographic.
I have had a technology site wherein I got a lot of questions and requests about the latest photography gear and techniques. So I decided to share the information through a dedicate channel on the subject and thus apnphotographyschool.com was born.
Some of you who are professional photographers may find that some of the articles written here are a little basic while others may find certain articles somewhat advanced. However this site is a blend of tips for starters, intermediate photographers and the professionals alike.

We’ll see to it that your queries are answered.
This website is not a formal workshop or curriculum by any means. It’s more of a community which everyone is free to join, participate, share and learn – and all this information and everything being open and free. However we do run limited advertising to help us cover the cost of running this site (think dedicated hosting, server maintenance and tech support). However this does not incur any cost upon you.
