About Photowala Rahul Mukherjee – Photography in Kolkata
I’ve been working out of Barasat for a while now under the name Photowala Rahul Mukherjee. Barasat is a big place, and it’s always moving, which gives me plenty to look at. My work is mostly about carrying the camera around and capturing things as they happen. I don't have a giant studio with those huge bright lights everywhere. It’s more about going to where the people are. I spend a lot of time walking around the local streets or heading to different events nearby. My equipment is kept in bags that I’ve had for years. They are a bit worn out, but they do the job. People know me as the guy who is always snapping photos of weddings or local gatherings. I spend quite a bit of time sitting at my computer later on, looking through all the frames I took. It can be tiring on the eyes. Barasat has a lot of different neighborhoods, and I seem to end up in a different one every week. I don't use a lot of fancy words to describe what I do. I just take the pictures that people ask for and try to make sure they look like the real person. It’s a lot of waiting for the right moment and then clicking the button. My small workspace is cluttered with lenses and old prints. There is usually a memory card sitting on every flat surface.
