Despite being a professional Painter, there is no end to his spectacular skills. Breaking the monotonous work schedule he picked up his camera and went on his first tour of India in 2017 where he clicked 1000 photos out of which he showcased a few in his first Photography Exhibition in the same year.
Once again he got all of his clicks but from his own mobile phone camera this time. An incredible example of a mobile photograph. He came up with four different segments for the exhibition; some were shots of his hand shadows in mystic lights while some were of his distorted shadows or reflections of him on different elements. Few were outdoor photography and the last sets were interiors.
Sanjay Bhattachrya said” “I am very obliged to see such a heartwarming welcome to my first ever mobile photography in the city. Since I started my second tangent in 2017, this was a new experiment to follow the freedom of passion I found over the last few years. Now, I have much more to give after seeing such success and love I received from people“.
