Weel #11 : Emotions on street - wrap up.

Last week our theme was to shoot a stranger on the streets, this is a part of what we know as "street photography". It received moderate responses... :) Showing you few of them...

The honoured mention of the week is of Anirban Saha. 

This was shot in a village street of Gochoron, 36 kilometers south to Kolkata. Like this, to like his photography page :

The next three photos were shot by Sayon Kumar Saha


Sayon has a certain kind of a zeal towards work, be it studies or photography. I am fortunate enough to have found a college junior as good as him. Given any work, he studies about the work and very silently does that.. and makes it seem so effortless, and his work amazes me without a break! Support him, click on the "like" button to like his photographs.

The next two photographs has been edited by Arka Dhara, the first of which was shot by Anirban Saha, and the latter by Arka Dhara himself.

Arka Dhara is one of the very few guys who admit very candidly, that he is a dreamer.. and thats all he knows about himself... He can be spotted on the streets, on Sundays or any event wearing three quater pants, and a camera in his hands.. making his way towards his subjects :D A superb guy never the less, he is an extreme humble soul.

Another photo has been submitted via email, by a very affectionate teacher - Mr Abhishek Bagchi.

This photo has captured my imagination, and is open to your interpretations as well... do leave a comment.

Week #9 : Shadows - Light

Sorry for this late blogpost... week 9 was dedicated to the theme "Shadows - Light", and we came up with various interpretations of the same..
Few of them are showcased below.
The photograph of the week is by our youngest member of the group : Koustab Das.

Photographs by Sayon Kumar Saha and Sourav Bhuniya. Their interpretation took the entire group by surprise.. astonished as we are, these two photos bring the puja-flavour in all bengalis' mind...

Photographs by Miyanka Paul, Arnab Saha, Shounak Roy... Miyanka's take on the topic was very similar to that of Arnabs' where the idols for the durga puja plays with lights and shadows, as it is created.. while Shounak puts his protagonist, against the light playfully.

Photograph by Aaghran Ghosh. I love the colours and the sense of photography, the young photographer from Kolkata shoots with.. His enthusiasm amazes me.

This photograph is by Sayak Subhra Kayal, and I have purposefully kept it at last.. This is an unique picture.. an amazing one.. where the lights and shadow stay together within each other embracing each other, forming the frame, the ripples. We in our lives too do some good, mixing with the bad.. nones' perfect good, while nones' complete bad.. Kudos to all the members, whose enthusiasm has made the group what it is today! 

So send us your review. This weeks theme is "A stranger", you can email your photos to mailme@anirbansaha.com with the subject "apupi submission", do send in your details and why you shot that.

One of the ever smiling guys around, he is extremely positive. This is evident from all the photos that he shares with us. He for me is a certain form of optimism and encouragement, to stand out and perform in the worst of conditions.. and perform consistently, producing results dazzling others both academically as well as at else
