Visual Art Practitioner

Hello,

Subhajit Naskar ( b.1992 ) is a lens based visual art practitioner. Capturing the melange of emotions through the lens is his forte. The stream of human emotion has always moved him from the inside. He believes visual expressions are much more alluring than any other socio-psyche construct. To him, all frames are more than mere pictures; they narrate stories- Stories of Emotions.

Subhajit has completed his graduation from the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, at Jadavpur University. In his professional career, he took a drastic leap from the Pharmaceutical corporate sector to the field of visual art when he realized that it was the world of Photography, where he belonged to.
To him, Photography is not just a mere hobby, but a passion for politics, portrayal of human life, and a mirror of emotions.

He had worked in a bengali newspaper as a staff photographer for a couple of years. Right now, he is working as a freelancer for various news media and non government organisations.

Subhajit has participated in various international exhibitions and has been featured on various prestigious platforms. He was recognized in the Toto Photography Awards (Finalist), Black and White Spider Photography Awards, Lensculture Street Photography Awards, Polyphony International Photo Festival, International Color Awards, Create COP26, Indian Photo Festival – Hyderabad, etc. His works have been published in Vice Media, The Quint, The Citizen, Himal Southasian, Gaon Connection, etc. His contributed images can be found in Getty Images, Alamy Stock Photos etc.

He works as a visiting faculty in the diploma course of photography in Ramkrishna Mission, Belur

He is represented by Diversify Photo.
