Chittaranjan, a small town in West Bengal is my birthplace and since my childhood, photography and painting fascinated me and naively it set as my favorite hobby.
All were smooth sailing and I had no direction of my aim till my first camera Yashika MG1 came into my life. With this camera I took only a few snaps here and there which were evolving with my intention towards it and it was noticed by my well wishers. One day, my physics professor told me to join Photography; it brought light into my passion and have inspired me to join Photographic Association of Dum Dum (PAD). After completing my course there, I interned under the famous still photographer, Mr. Ranjit Sinha. After this, the only option for me was photography, I never thought of anything else, and my independent photography career begun…
For the past five years, I have been working as an individual photographer. My passion and love of clicking images always intend as a new venture and as I always try to give my 100% effort I enjoyed each of them.
Till date I am having assignments with Anandabazar (Sananda, Anandalok, 19-20, Career, Anandamela), agencies like JWT, Bates, Mudra, Impact, Orient Communication, Cygnus Advertising, Campaign for HNG, B.B. Dutta Jewellery, Rupashree Jewelers, Senco Gold Jewelers, Singini, Indian Rayon, Marg (Costume Designer), etc. I have also shooted for some movie stills like Challenge 2, Khoka 420, Chader Pahar, Rangbaj, Bikram Singha, Awara, Deewana, Boss, Idiot, Kanamachi, Prolay, Rocky, Bangla Nache Bhangra, Chittrangada, 3 Kanya, Khiladi etc. I’ve also made few campaigns for TV Channel Star Jalsa.
Right now we have special wedding documentary. Last but not the least my aim is not to get satisfied with whatever work I’ve already done but the hunger and thirst for the betterment of my future work.
