I am a freelance photojournalist based in Kolkata, India. I have started my career in 1996 as an advertising photographer and have had worked with reputed advertising agencies, fashion designers, graphic designers, NGOs and corporates
However, since beginning, I was more interested in street photography; which later brought me to photojournalism. I have started my career in photojournalism as a freelance in The Times of India.
