"I had an incredible time learning about film photography at this workshop. As someone who only knew the basics of photography, it was exciting and refreshing to learn from Anjana and Ashin, who made the entire experience so engaging. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying my own camera and diving into film photography myself. There's something so intimate and rewarding about the process, it really makes you fall in love with every photo you take. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone interested in learning film photography from some of the best"

"I've been to Podd Labs' Cyanotype and Van dyke workshop. Had a great experience- the guidance was thorough, the process was enjoyable, loved the overall sense of community. I was worried since it was my first time, but the instructors made me feel super comfortable and made the learning process fun and easy."

“It was one of the most hands-on and insightful learning experiences I’ve had. Ashin and Anjana not only teach the techniques but also the history, science, and purpose behind each step. The workshop was pressure-free, encouraging experimentation and learning by doing. They even shared resources and setup ideas to continue practicing at home. The team is incredibly patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you grow in your craft."

About us
Founded by photographers Ashin and Anjana, both graduates of the National Institute of Design (NID) with Masters in Photography Design, Podd Labs is born out of a shared obsession with all things analogue.
We work with historical photographic processes and film-based practices, exploring the slower, tactile side of image-making. Our approach is deeply process-driven, hands-on, and guided by curiosity.
At Podd Labs, we’re building a space that invites learning, experimentation, and conversation, a place to explore image, memory, and form through the lens of alternative photographic practices.
