I am Amlan Sanyal. I am a teacher and also a documentary photographer. One provides a living for myself and the other a living for my soul. I am based in Siliguri, a small town in sub-Himalayan Bengal.
I strive to capture storytelling-images as well as insightful, emotion provoking yet, realistic sort of frames. I love capturing the colorful glimpses of the daily life in India. Street Photography/Documentary is my favorite way of looking at the world and taking photographs gives me the power to stop time, appreciate the truth of the moment and question myself.
Some of my achievements includes winning the POTM in Epson Fotoflock, publications in National Geographic Magazine, Smart Photography, Asian Photography, CHIIZ, The SUN Magazine (US), Edge of Humanity Magazine, PhotoPlus (UK), Dodho (Barcelona), Life Force Magazine, 121clicks, 205DPI, XPOSURE, The DPhoto Inspiration articles, International digital salon acceptances. I have also received good placements and reviews in some competitions and my work has been published in various print and online magazines and blogs. I am also a contributor to Getty Images and National Geographic stock photography.
