About
I belong from the township of Howrah in West Bengal, India, and am currently pursuing a graduation degree in Electronics and Tele-Communications Engineering at Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Yet, there is this strong passion towards the art of narrating stories though photographs, which has always been the food for my soul. I have loved and hated my own attempts at weaving stories in photographs, but the process has always felt captivating.
I am a self-taught photographer and I understand that there being so many beautiful ways to photograph, the learning process is never-ending.Evolving and striving to get better everyday is what keeps me going.
Over time, recognition of my work through publication in Photographic Journals, has been an extremely important and necessary source of inspiration. I have, to this date, contributed three articles to the International Lens Magazine over two issues and an accepted article awaits publication in the prestigious Black and White Photography Magazine ( ISSUE 243 ) alongside web features on the National Geographic Traveller India.
I co-founded a Visual Arts platform, The Fleeting Moments in 2019 with Soumadri Chowdhury, a fellow photography enthusiast and passionate story-teller with an aim to grow into an inclusive platform for Visual Storytelling. The Fleeting Moments' Team went on to be featured as the Artists of the Month for October 2019 at Artsy-Coffee and Culture, Kolkata. We had our work displayed on the walls of the Cafe and sold prints for the entire month. It has been an amazing journey since then, and we currently are a family of more than 50 individuals, interacting through Photography, Art and Creative Content pertaining to Visual Storytelling.
