Soumya Shankar Ghosal
“Street Photography is mostly a happy experience. One gets to meet people and learn new things. I have been born and brought up in the city of Kolkata but have understood the psyche of the city through Street Photography. I strive to shoot unadulterated situations and non-posed photographs.”
Soumya Shankar Ghosal is a street photographer from Kolkata, India. Soumya had been featured before on my online-photography-magazine „The Art of Creative Photography“: „Hidden Stories In The Ordinary“
