Every month we display the photographic work of an exceptional artist, display their exquisite images and ask a handful of questions about the photographer and their work.

The Response

When did you start photography?
I started photography seriously in 2009 when I acquired the DSLR from my elder brother.

How important is photography for you?
It supplies the necessary oxygen for me to survive in a very complicated environment.

What is your favourite image of all time?
This is a very tough question. "A picture is worth a thousand words" refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image. Therefore, it is almost impossible to choose a single image captured by the countless celebrated photographers around the world.

Your favourite and most inspiring location?
I want to travel to each and every place on this beautiful Earth. I believe that each and every place has a beauty to be captured through the lens, if, and only if, the eyes see it.

Who is your favourite past or present photographer?
The eminent American photographer and environmentalist best known for his black and white images, Ansel Easton Adams; also, Indian photographer and photojournalist Raghu Rai; these are my favourite photographers.

What are your future photographic plans?
I have no specific future plans but I wish to capture good images and learn photography for as long as I am alive.

What advice would you give to a younger you about photography?
A variety of photographic equipment certainly helps to capture good images, but these are not the one and only essential tools to capture them. One should have love, passion and a dedication for photography.

The Artist

Sirsendu Gayen from India

I am an Assistant Professor in chemistry at Vivekananda College Thakurpukur and a passionate amateur photographer from Kolkata, India. I started my photographic journey with a Kodak Kroma, followed by a Cosina C1s and a Nikon D80, all impressive cameras. I love photography because this is the medium which allows me to express myself. I enjoy photographing various subjects, but with specific interest in travel, architecture and people.
