This user page belongs to a Kolkata Based photographer Mr. Saptarshi Das.

I saw the first light in 1989 in Calcutta ( Now Kolkata ), India. After schooling I was sent to Guptipara, Hooghly, West Bengal for further studies.

I had a peaceful childhood in the lap of nature. I had plenty of time to observe things and thought over them. When I spent my days in 'Guptipara' the place attracted me with its historical values.

I was sent to 'Bhiwandi' for my first job. It was an Industrial area and i was aware about people & their life-style.

I was moved to Diamond Harbour for my next job. Ita was a place by the river & i found out a new taste of life.

It was just the start of me and my camera to travel. The 'DOL' festival of course at Santiniketan, Red earthen roads of Midnapur, Birbhum, The historical smells of Palashi, Mountains of North Bengal, parts of Odissa with its glamourous temples.

Every time I get contact with new types of ideas my camera clicks.

Every shot has a story to tell about. Every moment has a reason to be captured.

It can be a wedding or a cortege, It can be wet roads of monsoon or people having warmth by setting fire on a night of winter, It can be a happy old man on his morning walk or a tired child labour in the end of the day.

They are waiting to tell, waiting to express.
