Ayush Das

Freelancing in the art of collecting and securing wavelengths of luminous energy from unimaginable places and places we take for granted.

Each of us were born to contribute to those around us and those we meet in our journey called 'life'. Every person individually leaves a trail behind that others, who are close to them want to protect and save, to recollect in their time of need. They do this by simply remembering us.

Ayush is known as the person with "an eye", he observes and adds his own magic which has given him that edge in his photography. For him, traveling the world with a camera is one dream he can't wait to turn into a reality.

His Interest in photography started when he was in high school. With a steady diet of home cooked Indian food (Bengali food to be precise) coupled with greasy and fatty blockbuster films by Michael Bay, Speilberg and Cameron;it took him to another level. Then later, in 2003, he joined college. A degree in Business Administration reinforced his desire to get into Film Studies and the art of Motion pictures. His interests in the different genres of films widened. It was at this time that he felt the need to create moving images.

Photography has very little to do with the camera only. It's about what a person sees and how he sees it. A photograph is much more than it's description. Decades ago there used to be one camera, with a standard lens attached. People felt the need to capture certain shapes formed by light. Portraits of their relatives, inanimate objects, their pets, important events; things that touched their heart. A part of their lives was captured forever and they held the proof in their hands, in the form of pictures which would then be passed down to different generations.

Ayush has studied cinematography in film school for 2 years. It is an art, a style, a way of life; that takes years to master. Since 2010 he has been working independently on various projects. There is a lot to do. A lot to change. A lot of lives to touch. And that is just the very beginning of his life as a Photographer & Filmmaker

Pierre Poulain's work interests him a great deal. Mr Poulain is known for striking the right balance between philosophy and photography.He says "mastering the technical aspect is essential, because only then the technical aspect can be forgotten."
