Born in Howrah, West Bengal India but currently, I am in Govt service, working and living in Kolkata, I am graduated and completed Master Degree in Economics from Calcutta University,. In my childhood days, I did the drawing and painting, later in my mid-twenties, I developed an interest in photography I completed a course in Photography from a local institution at Howrah.. The passion for photography began early using an analog camera for about three/ four years. Later the digital camera came. I participated in different photographic salons under FIAP and PSA patronages and won many awards/acceptances over the time and it is still continuing. Over time I always wanted to create something new and in a broad sense something new to this world, not just capture an image. I have developed my own style where I can establish my feelings about life more intensely. I tried to capture the photographic elements in such a way that I can develop my dreams, self-expression has now developed into a unique language in black & white. I try to convey a quiet stillness of emotion with a deep thought to the natural surroundings creating a unique vision.
