Tanmoy Das Photography

I’m Tanmoy Das and I run my photography business out of Coochbehar. I’ve lived here my whole life and I know all the good spots where the light hits just right in the evening. My work isn't about being fancy or having the most expensive studio. I mostly work on location, whether it’s a wedding hall or someone’s backyard. In Coochbehar, word travels fast, so I don't really do much advertising. People just see my photos and give me a call. My home office is where I do all the editing. It’s a bit cluttered with hard drives and camera lenses. I spend hours staring at the screen, trying to get the colors to look natural. It’s a lot of solitary work, but I enjoy it. I like the feeling of capturing a moment that people want to keep. I don't have a big team or a secretary. When you call, you’re talking to me. I handle the bookings, the shooting, and the final prints. It gets busy during the marriage season and I find myself running from one end of town to the other. But when things are quiet, I like to just walk around with my camera and see what I can find. It’s a simple life and a simple business. I just try to do a good job for the people who trust me with their memories. That’s pretty much all there is to it, really. I just take pictures.
