Sudip Majumdar Photography & Creativity

Operating out of Nagar Bazar keeps us pretty busy most weeks. This is the place where the photography happens, right in the middle of all the local shops. We have been working out of this space for a bit now, and it feels like home. There are always cameras lying around and chargers plugged into every outlet we can find. It is a bit of a squeeze when a whole family comes in for a group photo, but we make it work by moving the chairs around. The walls are covered with some old prints and some new ones we just finished. We don’t have a big staff, so whoever is free answers the door or picks up the phone. Sometimes it’s quiet and I can get some editing done, but then three people walk in at once and it gets chaotic. Nagar Bazar has its own energy and we just flow with it. I spend a lot of time checking the batteries and making sure the memory cards are cleared out. It’s a repetitive job in some ways, but every person who walks through the door wants something a little different. We try to keep things relaxed so people don't feel stiff when they're in front of the lens. It's just a local photography spot where we do our thing and try to keep the equipment running. No big speeches or fancy promises, just the daily grind of a small studio.
