Music plays a big

influence on his imagery.

There is hardly a shoot

during which he is not

listening to his favourite

songs which range from

rabindra Sangeet to

bob dylan.

“There is

already so much

chaos around

us in life. i find

that colours

distract us

from the deeper

meaning behind

photographs.”

It is a kind of magic that is undeniable.”

Despite his experience in the field, Jayanta

still considers himself as an amateur. He is in

no rush and is gradually developing his own

style. “I have been actively photographing

for over four years now and I believe that

one’s journey in photography should be

slow. I have miles to go before I will truly be

pleased with my work,” he says.

With his head held high, and his mind

without fear of the path ahead, Jayanta’s

tenacity and doggedness seem to personify

yet another Tagore poem—Where the Mind is

Without Fear.

Several of his photographs

are tributes to Michael

Kenna. “When you love

something a lot, you are

constantly making odes

to it,” he says.
