About Moving Focus Creative

Moving Focus Creative is a boutique creative travel studio curating immersive art and photography retreats in some of the world’s most inspiring destinations.

We exist for people who feel that travel should be more than sightseeing —
it should be deep, creative, human and transformative.

Our retreats bring together artists, photographers, travellers and creative thinkers who want to slow down, explore the world through their lens, and reconnect with themselves in beautiful places.

This is not tourism.
This is creative living on the move.

Why Our Retreats Are Different

We are not tour operators.
We are not mass-market workshops.

Moving Focus Creative retreats are:

• Small & intimate
• Artist-led & experience-driven
• Designed for emotional & creative depth
• Focused on connection, not crowds
• Built around beauty, culture and authenticity

Our guests don’t just visit a destination —
they experience it through art, people and presence.

Our Vision

We envision a world where creativity is not something you schedule —
it’s something you live.

Moving Focus Creative is growing into a global network of creative retreats, experiences and collaborations across Asia, Europe and beyond — for people who want to travel not just to escape, but to discover who they are becoming.

Meet the Founder

Moving Focus Creative was founded by Umang N., a creative entrepreneur, visual artist and mentor who has worked with artists and creative minds across India and internationally.

After running ArtMentor, a platform that guided hundreds of students into the world of art, portfolios and creative careers, Umang realised that the most powerful growth didn’t happen in classrooms — it happened in new places.

Travel, photography and working with creative communities around the world showed him how deeply environment shapes imagination, confidence and self-expression.

That insight led to the birth of Moving Focus Creative — a space where creativity is no longer confined to a studio, but allowed to roam freely across beaches, cities and cultures.

What We Do

We curate small-group, high-quality retreats that blend:

• Art & visual storytelling
• Photography & creative exploration
• Cultural immersion
• Slow, intentional travel
• Beautiful natural locations

Every retreat is thoughtfully designed — from the villas we stay in to the experiences we share — so that participants feel both free and supported.

Whether you’re sketching by the sea, photographing street life, or sharing stories over dinner, every moment is part of a deeper creative journey.

Our Philosophy

At the heart of Moving Focus Creative is a simple belief:

When you change your surroundings, you change your perspective.

New landscapes, new cultures and unfamiliar rhythms unlock creativity in ways nothing else can. When you step away from routine and into the world, ideas begin to flow, emotions rise to the surface, and stories start to appear.

Our retreats are designed to create that space —
space to observe, to feel, to create, and to connect.
