Ranita Roy
Photographer
I, Ranita Roy, from Andul, District: Howrah, State: West Bengal, Country: India, always wanted to live a creative life. My goal is to show different moments and moods. I love to work with People, Environment, Street, Nature, Landscape, Travel, Portrait and Fine Arts.
I focus on a place with regular people in exaggerated situations that highlight an aspect of who they are. I look for a sense of defiance and fortitude in my work. Also, I Love to hunt the moment of mystery, surprise, and humor in my photography. These fragments of fictional stories are drawn from the real world through the facsimile or aesthetic composition that hints at a larger story. It’s something interesting in the ordinary places. I emphasize on light and shadow, where I catch the frames in exaggerated way with a moment of mystery. Above all, I photograph to reproduce the feeling of the moment.
As a freelance photo journalist, I have done few projects like 1. Documentary on irrigation system under West Bengal Government called Jalatirtha, 2. Self project on Old Age Happiness, 3. Documentary on Environmental issue in flood affected areas, 4. Documentary on Child labor and Child education system in India and 5. Women in Indian socio culture.
Few of my Major Achievements are 1. Category winner at UNESCO on Climate change, 2. Among Top 10 Finalist of International Women Photographer Award 2017, 3. Achieved Honorable Mention in Marilyn Stafford FotoReportage Award and 4. A Photo story on Child education system in India Published in Private Photo View, 121clicks and Femina Media, Hungary.
