― Henri Cartier-Bresson, The Mind’s Eye: Writings on Photography and Photographers
Nabendu Jyoti’s mini album: Serenity
Photographer’s Note: In these photographs, stillness becomes a language. Each frame is less about capturing what is seen and more about tracing what is felt — the subtle currents of light, shadow, silence and nuance. The work does not declare but suggests, inviting the viewer to step into a space where presence is both delicate…
Rachel Turney’s mini album: Isolation and Connection
Photographer’s Note: This series of digital photographs captures the quiet paradox of remote work in the modern age — a life simultaneously untethered and confined.

Kousiki Jana’s mini album: Suicide
Photographer’s Note: A sallow moon sucks on a jalebi. Someone gently ran a hand along the back of my crimson head in the dead of night. I only caught a fleeting glimpse of their bluish tongue—now my left earlobe feels damp in my sleep. Just the other day, standing at the edge of the village’s…
Amartya Krishna Deb’s mini album: Birds
Photographer’s Note: Birds have captivated me since childhood, symbolising freedom as they soar through the boundless sky with their wings outstretched. However, with the gradual loss of greenery and the expansion of urban landscapes, these remarkable creatures are becoming increasingly scarce. Nevertheless, for those who observe closely, they can still be seen perched on trees…
Linette Rabsatt’s mini album: Through The Window Of The Marvellous Mundane
Editor’s Note: O eye skipping slipping past, do you catch it, the light on the leaf-lip, the hush in the hush between wingflits? Web quivers, river exhales, a petal unlatches, tumbling slow slow slow. Blink and it’s gone, blink and it’s always there. Time’s a trickster, slipping through cracks, pooling in the small seen things.…
Kousiki jana’s mini album: Mayanadi
Photographer’s Note: Mayanadi is the essential stream of my inner world. As I walk along the path, I sometimes stumble upon certain places—more precisely, I catch glimpses of my own shadow or, rather, the shadow of something that makes me halts for a moment. Then, either it embraces me for a lifetime, or I embrace…

Nemo Gupto‘s album: Depth and Corridors
Photographer’s Note: The eldritch sense that something is wafting towards you in the corridor is palpable. A corridor leads to a wall, an opening sometimes, a hole even and even to a magic door through which you eventually end up where you always dream to. The following images aim to capture that idea, outlandish may…
Sandip De’s photoalbum: Jaldapara
Photographer’s Note: The Jaldapara National Park situated at the foothills of Himalayas in the Alipurduar District of northern West Bengal offers one of the most striking experiences of nature and her majestic child – the Indian Elephant.

Victor Igic’s mini-album: Surreal Portraits
Photographer’s note: Faces can be revealing, they can be deceptive as well. They carry stories in layers of time. Each layer is like the circular striations that one can find in the trunk of an old tree. These layers could be the playful fantasies of time, could be self-imposed to look beyond time, could be…
Urmi Chakravorty’s mini-album: Of nature and us
An urge to break all fetters, scale new heights, to stand out in a crowd – is that a primordial instinct guiding both man and animal? Rejecting the comfort and security of a home and herd, the avian soars free, rubbing shoulders with the towering deodars and cottony clouds, scripting a new story of courage…
Subha Bhadra’s mini album: Bengali Snippets
The deities share the same journey as that of a river. Celebrated, wasted, humiliated in desolation and yet revered. The Bhāgirathi of Kolkata-Howrah breathes her people’s dreams and hopes. The loneliness of the sky can only be matched by the fatigue of the flying wings and the chaos of our civilisation. Yet they all perhaps…

Ankan De’s mini album: Shadows on the pitch of black
Photographer’s note: For shadows to exist, there has to be light. Greater the intensity, sharper the edges. They are never scarce during the day, neither are they at night. As they attempt to catch up with the subject, there is a delicate dance between the subject, the source (of light) and textured surfaces that await…
Greeshum Panesar’s mini album: Monochrome Snippets
Artist’s Note: Before the seven colours of rainbow, the world was perhaps a mix of black and white. That’s how the photographer wants to look at the world sometimes.

Saranya Ganguly‘s album of inkwork: Findings in splashes
The swash and beat, the dissolution and the illusion, the colours of known and the unknown shapes, eyes where petals could have been, heart that could have been a womb, rebellion that bleeds, curls and locks of roses and where we stand, what we see, what we feel and perhaps how we find ourselves in…

Mathias Nyberg‘s mini album: Stand Behind A Child
Photographer’s note: The children have the most curious gaze. They experience the new like no other, fuelled by their inherent curiosity.
