What motivated you to become a photographer and why the focus on macro?
I’m not sure how I got started in photography — but I do know that macro is a technical challenge and that I find insect behavior fascinating.
Is it enough to have the right equipment in order to be a good macro photographer or are there other areas of knowledge that are critical?
Good question. It helps to learn about insect/amphibian behavior. For example, it’s much harder to find frogs during the dry season — wait for the rainy season when they are laying eggs. Many insects (eg: mayflies, many beetles) spend long periods in their larval form and emerge as adults for only a few days to mate before dying. Knowing when they emerge is important. Many insects hide during the day so you need to look for them at night.

Dried and Dusted
The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially. A lot of its flavours and masala mixes have been handed down from over a thousand years and Bengalis to this day retain those recipes which make them truly “shonar Bangla” dishes.
