Hi! I am Santanu Mukherjee, a Kolkata based photographer with a deep passion for capturing the world through my lens. Over the past decade photography has been more than just an art form for me; it has been a journey of exploration, storytelling and cultural documentation. My expertise spans across various genres including Festivals & Culture, Street Photography and Landscapes, each reflecting my keen eye for detail and emotion.
Beyond photography I am a Mechanical Engineer working with a reputed MNC, complemented by a degree from IIM Calcutta. My dual passion for both engineering and photography allows me to blend technical precision with artistic creativity.
My Photographic Journey:
I have had the privilege of contributing to various prestigious photographic projects, including the “Mega Project” by National Geographic. My work has been widely featured in several esteemed publications such as ViewFinder by the Federation of Indian Photography, IIG Journal and Emotion.
Representing India on multiple international platforms has been a humbling experience. Some of the notable exhibitions where my work has been showcased include Photographic Art Exhibition by Euro Foto Art at the FIAP Exhibition Centre Oradea, Romania (2021), EFA Partners Club International Exhibition by Euro Foto Art, Oradea, Romania (2025), and The Pharaohs International Photographic Carnival, Cairo, Egypt (2024).
Additionally, I have been actively participating in exhibitions across Kolkata for the past nine years and have had the honour of winning the Swedish Corporate Championship Award multiple times. My photographs have received national and international accolades, with exhibitions in over 30 countries.
The True Essence of My Work:
What truly defines my photography is passion, storytelling and an unwavering dedication to capturing the beauty of the world. Each photograph I take is not just an image; it’s a narrative, a moment frozen in time, waiting to be explored. My goal is to bring emotions, traditions and cultures to life through my lens, allowing viewers to connect with the soul of each destination.
Through this website, I hope to share my experiences, inspirations and the stories behind each frame with fellow photography enthusiasts, curious explorers and art lovers alike. I invite you to step into my world and see the world as I do; one frame at a time!
