Tirthankar Gupta is a Powerful Photographer When He’s Not Stuck Inside His Cubicle at Work

Tirthankar Gupta is a self-described “cubicle dweller” in his job as a systems engineer for a Kolkata-based consulting company. But when he removes his suit to expose an imaginary superman disguise, he becomes a powerful photographer who can scale any assignment in a leaping bound.

Gupta makes the most of the beautiful urban and wilderness areas of his home country in all he shoots. His portfolio encompasses everything from vibrant, bustling street scenes, lifestyle images, candid portraiture, and magical festivals.

But what caught our eye is some of his gorgeous work capturing the majesty of the Himalayas, in which he creates almost painterly images of the high mountains.

His street photography is often ebullient, frequently whimsical, and sometimes poignant as he captures the travails of those less fortunate. Interestingly, he shoots both in color and black-and-white, with equal impact in everything he does.

Gupta is also a painter, and his finely tuned artist’s eye shows through in his photographic works.
