about me I am from city of Kolkata in India. What began as a pass time hobby some years back is now a full-blown passion. Excelling in this wonderful art of Photography is my life’s goal. In my younger days, I used to fiddle with my father’s camera, an Agfa Click III and later a National 35. I used to click a frame or two. However, with time, I left the budding passion for more important things like studies and subsequently a career. Around 2016, while I was posted at Guwahati, I decided to pick up the latent passion I had for this art and that was the turning point. I started my photography journey with a Nikon D5300 camera and later upgraded to higher models. Professionally, I am into general management. Due to nature of my work, I travelled a lot in and around India and tried to capture the land, nature, people and their lives from the places I visited. I am mostly into Nature, Portraiture and Conceptual Photography. Sometimes I also delve into Travel and Street genre. Highpoint of my photography journey was when I won National Award, India, 2020 Sony World Photography Awards. This was followed by an award in prestigious D J Memorial Photography Contest 2020 here in India. Currently I am holding photography distinctions from Federation of Indian Photography (FIP), Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP), Photographic Society of America (PSA) and Global Photography Union (GPU). With more than 130 awards, my works were exhibited in around 250 exhibitions across 24 countries during past three years. My work were also published in publications like National Geographic Magazine, EYE-Photo Magazine and Chiiz Magazine. For the last two years, I am using a Nikon D750 and later added a Sony Alpha 7III in my arsenal. I use a mix of lenses from Nikon, Tamron, Sony and Tokina; from 11mm to 600mm. For processing, I am mainly into Adobe Lightroom and Luminar AI. As photography is art of capturing light, I believe in mastering the exposure through whatever equipment I have in my hand. This require learning the photography techniques, understanding technical capabilities of your equipment and practice the skills learned. For this I study literature, refer to digital media, discuss and collaborate with mentors and seniors and take active part in study groups like some from Photographic Society of America and my club, Photography Club of Assam. My immediate plan is to take my passion to the next level commercially as a professional photographer. Also, I would like to share my skills and passion with enthusiasts who are keen to take up this art. 3
