Biography
Sudip (b. 1990) grew up on a remote island in coastal West Bengal, India surrounded by lush vegetation and serene nature. The natural environment and a voracious reading habit helped him develop his unique observation power and sensibilities. After migrating to the city of Kolkata for higher studies, He became a computer engineer professional for financial reasons but always nurtured the dream of becoming a photographic artist. In 2018, He started his professional photography journey after quitting a highly sought-after government job and has never looked back. A mixture of factual and imaginary, His images explore contemporary social and environmental topics from a unique perspective with a deep curiosity for the truth. His works have earned him several prestigious awards, as well as global exhibitions and international publications.
