THE STORY BEHIND EVERYTHING

It all started back in 2002, when a casual photography class in school drew my attention towards how simple objects have immense beauty hidden in them. Back then, with my Kodak KB-10 camera, not much could be done. But I never underestimated the potential of a simple looking object. Everything ugly has a beauty not every eye can see. This is what I had learned then.

Through the years, I never really had a camera, and borrowed cameras from my friends who had it, but the passion never died. As they say, passion never dies (if it is a passion).

My name is Sudipto and currently, I live in Hyderabad, India.

Although I post just about all types of photographs I shoot, but nature photography is my speciality. That’s what I like best, and hence, shoot most often.
