Rentu Das Photography

I’ve been running Rentu Das Photography out of K.B.M Chakdaha for a good while now. It’s mostly just me and my cameras. The studio is a modest space, nothing like those high-end places in the big cities, but it works for what I do. I spend a lot of time cleaning lenses and making sure the batteries are charged. People around Chakdaha know me, and I’ve probably taken photos of half the kids in the neighborhood as they grew up. It’s funny how time passes when you’re looking through a viewfinder. I don't go in for all those fancy filters or over-editing everything until people look like plastic. I just like to capture how things actually look in the moment. Sometimes the lighting isn't perfect or someone blinks, but that's just how life is. My workspace is usually a bit cluttered with tripods and old memory cards. I don't have a receptionist or a big staff, so if you call, you’re just talking to me. I handle the bookings, the shooting, and the printing myself. It’s a lot of work, but I prefer it that way because I know where everything is. People come by the K.B.M area when they need a portrait or some shots for a small event. I try to be quick with the delivery, though sometimes the editing takes a bit longer if I’m busy with other shoots. It’s just me doing what I know how to do best.
