His habit of freezing every family occasion in his phone camera stoked his interest in photography. Hence, just after his school board exams, Rahul Saha signed up for a photography course at renowned lensman Atanu Paul’s Third Eye Institute.
“I learned different aspects of photography under Atanu Paul’s proper guidance and my interest further grew. I decided to become a professional photographer and got the full support of my guardians, who always encouraged my passion,” recalls Rahul.
Working with a Nikon 3500D, Rahul is always in search of a perfect frame and keeps a tab on anything new or unique. “I put more effort into finding a proper frame that lends a unique meaning to the picture before clicking. Before shooting with models I learn about the different dresses and their facial expressions. The models which I have chosen for the column are not professional but each of them possesses a different look and has unique expressions and attitudes which make for perfect frames,” adds Rahul, whose hobby is to develop his skills as a fashion photographer.
“I want to leave a hint of creativity in each photo that I click,” he adds.
