Born and brought up in Kalimpong, I have not only admired but have in growing years, fallen in love with the works of Mother Nature. This is where I believe I got my inspiration for the creative field of art. As a child, sketching and working with colors interested me. Gradually, what appealed me more was capturing the beauty of any piece of art in frame than on canvas.

Coming from a very modest living background, the question of owning a camera as a child and pursuing photography as a hobby was unaffordable at that point of time.. Later, my father presented me with a basic Ricoh camera which I treasure till date.

Now, I am happy to own a Nikon DSLR. My works are a reflection of hill, of the beauty, culture and lifestyle of the indigenous ethnic groups that form the small town. Apart from my profession in Kalimpong Girls' Higher Secondary school as a physics teacher, I have taken up freelance photojournalism contributing to the local media channel.

My wife and my daughter have been supportive of my passion for photography and are my best critics. Photography to me is an expression of ones creative mind. I have learnt so much all this while both from my success and more from my mistakes. Its not every day that one lives his dream. I am happy to have pursued and lived my dreams been an interesting long journey so far and there is more to tread on. Learning and developing my art remains the motto.
I am featured in a Indian magazine septembar issue '09 "Talk Sikkim"
Received award in National salon, Nominated for Sony World Photography Organisation in 2011, My photographs have been accepted in International salon, Photographs have been accepted and exhibited in 5th Nazaria Peace film festival, Ahmedabad, three still photo documentary have been published, exhibited photography exhibition in Kolkata many times, selected from Epson and exhibited in Delhi.

hey Samiran—you are from India. How about a few words of explanation with your photos? I like them very much, but more often than not I have no idea how to comment ...
