Photography
for Raj Sarkar is to capture decisive moments of life. The most important thing
for Raj as a photographer is to respect his subjects and the ambience. According
to him we are not going to get good photo every time we shoot. But we should
try exploring things which are new and unique. Raj thinks that his camera is his
constant companion wherever he goes. He believes, if we are in a habit of
taking photograph everyday then it will become a reflex action and our mind
will instruct when to click and what to click. He thinks that one has to be the
true critic of his own photos. He prefers to review his own photographs
repeatedly on a regular basis to develop photographic sense. Reading various
photography magazines has become his habit in order to get updated with the new
technology invented every day in the photographic field.
His favorite
photographers are Raghu Rai, Henry Cartier Bresson, Sebastiao Salgado and Ansel
Adams.
