Learn photography near Chandannagar

Whether you want a career, a side income or simply better pictures, the fastest route is guided practice. Every RAP course combines theory with studio work, outdoor shoots and portfolio reviews, so your skills grow week by week.

Chandannagar, the former French town, is famous for its riverside Strand and the spectacular light installations of its Jagaddhatri Puja — a dream for night and festival photography.

Hooghly district lines the west bank of the river opposite our Ichhapur and Belgharia centres. Its old European towns — Danish Serampore, French Chandannagar, Dutch Chinsurah and Portuguese Bandel — terracotta temples, handloom villages and festivals such as Chandannagar's Jagaddhatri Puja make it one of the richest districts in Bengal for photographers.

This page is for students from Chandannagar, including Chandan Nagar, Chandernagore, and nearby areas of Hooghly.
