neurotoxic

I am a freelance journalist, photographer, cinematographer and musician. I have written articles on various topics including crime, government, politics, environmental, entertainment, Sports and health. My bylines appeared on various publications including Bennett Coleman and Co. Ltd. (Times Group) and Hindustan Times. As a a freelance photographer, I specialize in events, wild life, product, industrial, wedding, portfolios, nature, landscape and pre-production publicity stills. I was born and raised in Calcutta now Kolkata. This city has given birth to Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen and other such world renowned filmmakers. Besides Indian filmmakers, the works of Alfred Hitchcock, Jafar Panahi, Jean Luc Godard, Majid Majidi, Woody Allen, Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Ridley Scott, Abbas Kiarostami, Akira Kurosawa, Roman Polanski, Martin Scorsese, Luis Bunuel, Jean Pierre Jeunet, Sam Mendes, Michel Gondry and Roberto Benigni have always inspired me. Exposed to so many different aspects and layers of life and reality, I try to learn as much as I can from every incident and every individual I meet. I would like to use these experiences I have been gathering to create something unique and striking. Other than film, I play guitar and bass and I also like to travel, see new horizons and meet new people. In the future I would also like to take active part in wildlife conservation using film to raise awareness.
