Q. What got you started with Automotive photography and what keeps you interested in it?

A. Sheer boredom, to be honest. While doing a degree in animation, I started experimenting with the camera phone I had, playing with compositions— mainly for drawing references. After completing my degree, I wanted to pursue filmmaking but I felt that I wanted to use photography as a medium to tell stories and emotions in a ‘subtext over text’ or ‘read between the lines’ method. My father gifted me a Canon 60D as he saw potential in me and I decided to combine the two things I adore the most— automotive culture and art— and it has been an interesting journey ever since.

Q. Can you break down your creative process from envisioning or planning the shoot till the final output?

The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially. A lot of its flavours and masala mixes have been handed down from over a thousand years and Bengalis to this day retain those recipes which make them truly “shonar Bangla” dishes.
