I am Susmita Bhattacharya from Kolkata. My educational qualification is M.A. in French and teaching French is my profession. I am an amateur photographer. I like to travel and love to capture the culture of the region, festival, people, and their livelihood. Once I used to participate in salon photography so two distinctions I have complied that is AFIP and AFIAP. I have achieved some Gold medals from national and international salon photo contests.
My photo was exhibited in Lucknow Lalit Kala Academy, Gujarat Lalit Kala Academy, and some national and international art galleries. From Surat Fort National level contest Gujarat I got first prize and that was my first cash prize earning. I bought my camera in 2014 and started to capture moments from 2015. In this field, I am a student and still learning.
My views on photography
Photography is not just taking a camera and clicking everything in front of it, then select. Photography is the passion that drives oneself to improve. Taking a photo in which you are really interested. Develop own vision and creating own style.
One of my Sir told me P H O T O G R A P H Y at the beginning is Patience, Hardworking, Observation, and Timing, in between you have to Organize yourself, you may have to get up early and walk all day long to shoot in hot and cold weather, you need Groundwork, Research, and Access and at the end be Polite, Humble and Youthful.
Photography is discipline to me, exploring the world and broadens the horizon, interacting with people being humble and being young at heart, and being positive is the keyword.

These photographs are so unique and different from each other. Each photograph tells a story that helps us connect to a culture many are not yet aware, after out country is widely varied in culture and art! You show us parts of India through your lens. I like every photograph you’ve shared here, each having its own value.
Brilliant photography! Definitely speaks about photographer’s patience, skill and aesthetic sense!!
Keep going, Sushmita.
Every frame captures the passion of the celebration with perfect timing of the shot
Each photo has a story to tell. Very well captured. Keep going. Best wishes.
