Vireshwar Das on Fstoppers

Vira

I'm a photographer based in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Photography is more than just a passion to me, it is my life. I have been practicing this incredible art of lights and shadows for the past two, two and a half years, and have realized my true calling lies in street photography and portraits.

Barriers like, distance and time are mere excuses which absolutely do not belong in this line of work. If well furnished, any corner of the earth can be made accessible for any assignment, or shoot!

The pictures that I take are absolutely edited by me. In that way, I retain the flexibility to create the best version of the shot taken. Also, this enables me to be on the same page as the client, and give them exactly what they want, if not more.

I don't consider the people I shoot as models, instead, they are my muses. I aim to reflect the true beauty, the raw personality in each of the people I shoot. Otherwise, the picture no longer retains the true art of the person, but just their face. I no longer remain a portrait, but just a picture, with no emotions attached to it.
