Kolkata photographer Anish Dutta trains his lenses on four city models

When he was about 12 years old, Anish Dutta discovered his passion for photography. “My brother use to click a lot of pictures and that instilled in me a deep interest in the subject. Gradually the love grew with time and I too started capturing moments with Nikon CoolpixL29,” he recalls.

A self-taught lensman, who learnt the art through YouTube tutorial classes, sternly believes that photography is something that’s best learnt when one learns it on his or her own. “Every genre of photography has different things to highlight. For example, in a landscape, it’s the beauty of nature, the colours and the different hours. In portrait, the expressions, the lighting arrangement, the eyes of the models are important,” tells the observant shutterbug who loves to project the unique look that a model portrays.

“It can be natural or moody. The plus points are that when we work together we sync perfectly and they know exactly which look or expression or pose I want from them. When I tell them the concepts and they can easily understand the poses I am looking for. So, it is a very symbiotic process,” he further says.

Anish started clicking landscapes, wildlife, and street pictures before slowly moving on to wedding and fashion photography. “But I still click landscapes, wildlife, streets and I love it. My passion is clicking pictures and I click pictures and that can be any picture,” tells Anish who now uses Nikon D7500.

But Anish also loves to nurture his love for music whenever he gets time between his professional commitments. “I play the guitar and I love music. Before starting photography I used to play the guitar and had played in many concerts. Also, I drew pictures. And I keep making time for these things whenever I can,” he signs off.
