PHOENIX PHOTOGRAPHY

PHOENIX PHOTOGRAPHY INDIA had held it’s second online major championship of the year from 3 April to 30 April 2022 powered by Ambar Saha Photography, Kolkata where more than 400 images were short listed for selection.

The final selection criteria was that the participants were asked to submit a minimum of 7 high quality photographs during the entire championship failing which the entry was deemed to be disqualified.

We received few remarkable photographs but they were disqualified because the photographers didn’t met our basic requirement. External Jury Mr. Akash Ghosh AFIAP finally gave his judgment in favor of Dipanjan Chakraborty’s image as the winner. Mr. Kuntal Biswas, Mr. Subrata Paul and Mrs. Shampa Bhowmik were amongst the runners up and Honorable Mentions recipients.

Phoenix Photography caught up with Dipanjan Chakraborty for a brief session below.

How would you describe your style of photography?

I am a story teller. Street photography is a vast genre and it is evolving everyday. Storytelling is a style of street photography which I like to do most. I love to tell stories with my frames. From my childhood I am very much indulged with the lifestyle of common people and subtility of everyday life. So I started to capture and with age I simply amplified my way of photography.

What’s in your camera kit bag?

I always love to carry a simple , compact and lightweight kit bag , it consists of my mirrorless camera (Sony A6000) with 15-55 mm kit lens , a 55-210 mm zoom lens , extra battery , extra memory card , camera cleaning kit ( vacuum, brush, cotton etc.) and a polyethylene bag.

What does it take to be a successful photographer?

Photography is a practice. I always try to develop my way of photography every day through my practice and perseverance. I think practice, patience and perseverance leads a man towards success.
