Welcome.
What you see here is not just a collection of photographs — it is a living archive of moments quietly unfolding across time, space, and circumstance. These images are my way of listening to the world, of holding space for its silences, its resilience, and its quiet beauty. They are fragments of a deeper conversation — one that continues to unfold between the seen and the felt, the ordinary and the extraordinary.
I am a visual storyteller, drawn to the in-between — between stillness and motion, memory and forgetting, despair and hope. My work seeks to honour the poetry of everyday life: the light that spills across a worker’s hands, the unspoken history in an elder’s eyes, the soft defiance of joy in places too often reduced to their suffering. These are not just images — they are invitations. To pause. To notice. To feel.
My journey began in the suburbs of West Bengal, India — in a landscape shaped by partition, migration, scars of war and quiet endurance. I grew up among families who had lost everything to the borderlines of history, yet continued to build lives rooted in hope, dignity, and community. These early encounters with displacement and resilience taught me that beauty is not the absence of hardship — but something that often grows from within it.
Science and art, technology and empathy — these dualities have long shaped the way I see. I trained as an engineer, studied textile and fibre technology, and spent years working within industries on the brink of collapse. Alongside that, I walked the streets of cities and towns with a camera in hand and a growing belief that stories live in the details — in weathered faces, in labouring hands, in the overlooked moments between motion and rest.
Much of my early work was shaped by my involvement in grassroots student movements, where I witnessed firsthand the complexity of struggle — and the quiet power of those who resist, rebuild, and dream in the margins. These experiences deepened my commitment to what I call slow storytelling — the kind that unfolds not through extraction, but through return; not through spectacle, but through trust.
For me, photography is not about capturing perfection. It’s about receiving a moment as it offers itself — raw, real, and fleeting. I find meaning in the spaces between frames, where most of life happens — in gestures half-finished, stories half-told, emotions half-visible but wholly true.
This portfolio is a reflection of those encounters — a visual journey through stories that continue to shape me. It is an offering, a conversation, and a quiet act of remembrance. Though the locations may shift — across geographies, languages, and lives — the impulse remains the same: to witness with empathy, and to create with care.
Thank you for taking the time to be here.
I hope these images speak to something in you — not just of what is seen, but of what is sensed, remembered, and deeply felt.

The story, after all, is still unfolding.
