Born in free India in 1959, Soumitra Dutta has a free spirit and a passion for capturing moments from nature through his lens, for all time to come. The lyrical poetry in nature arouses aesthetic pleasure and the more you delve into this beauty the more you savour its essence and the ultimate result is aesthetic bliss. Soumitra has a keen ear for the music of nature. It is this sensitivity that has drawn him to nature again and again.
Photograpy Workshop
Soumitra Dutta is one of India's few distinguished landscape photographers, who epitomised landscape photography as a fine art form. His journey has taken him across remote and untouched corners of India, but his artistic vision extends effortlessly to landscapes in miniature, captured as readily from a rooftop as through the frame of a car window.
Saroj Kumar Dora of Sony India is a Mentor - Alpha Specialist and will grace the workshop. We are proud to have an association with Sony India as our equipment and venue partner, and their involvement adds real value to the storytelling.
4 Frames is an initiative by four photographers in Kolkata who believe photography is not a snapshot, but something beyond that something that defines the four frames of an image. With Soumitra Dutta's workshop as its first, 4 Frames is committed to hosting more workshops, artist talks, and visual literacy programmes through photography, expanding its presence beyond the city to nationwide.
The Master Photographer now invites a select group of students to learn from the vision he has honed over decades, in an intense three-day workshop in Calcutta. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to train under the mentorship of Soumitra Dutta.
12, 13 & 19 December

Passion
Photographs pick up facts for eternity… and are more eloquent than words
Soumitra had discovered his true love in his days of innocence and it is this love, which has shaped and moulded him in his life of experience. His medium of expression is photography and his subject matter is nature of which he is an integral part. He has to his credit many exhibitions. Acclaimed as one of the very best in his genre by both critics and connoisseurs, his artistic eye for perfection, beauty and truth will make him run a long innings. In 1985 Soumitra shared space with another artist for an exhibition at Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata. After a gap of six years he held an exclusive exhibition of his photographs at Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata. His 1995 solo exhibition on landscapes at Academy of Fine Arts,a part of “Three Exhibitions.” came in for his immense popularity. A landscape solo at Gorky Sadan, Kolkata followed soon.
