I was more inclined towards movies, I was fascinated by the works of some directors and cinematographers, the way they tell stories and create different abstract moods and feelings with use of camera angles, camera movements, lights, colour, compositions\u2026 I was mainly inspired by the works of Satyajit Ray, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Joel and Ethan Coen and many others. I still vividly remember the film \u201cThe Terrorist\u201d by South Indian filmmaker Santosh Sivan which has less dialogues but more visual imagery to convey the feelings and story.<\/p>\n<p>But at that time, video equipment was beyond my reach and so I started using a cheap compact film camera to substitute my passion for cinematography and in the process, I fell in love with photography, starting with a focal press book on the basics of photography I was blown away by the works of David Alan Harvey, Raghuveer Singh, Raghu Rai, Sebastian Salgado\u2026. I was simply astonished how a single frame could convey so much feelings and story. My humble journey into the world of photography started then. I still consider myself a student every day amazed by the works of talented photographers\/cinematographers all around the world and here at Stocksy.<\/p>\n\n            \n              \n      <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/c.stocksy.com\/a\/r6fB00\/y0\/2779637.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/2779637\/little-girl-enjoying-a-e-rickshaw-ride-in-the-city-at-night\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAPTAK GANGULY<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_63407c852ba57\">\n\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:24%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n\n    \n              <p><span style=\"color: #7b7b7b;\">How did you find out about Stocksy, and what made you decide to join?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I was then contributing to a major stock agency (Getty) in the year 2011-2012, but their commission rate was meager and also their approach towards photography was more commercial and product like to my liking, I was always looking for an agency that has a more friendly touch and artistic approach towards photography and I found Stocksy through a google search, I was immediately impressed by the authentic and artistic collection of imagery, I applied and got accepted in 2013 and consider that to be my biggest achievement in my humble photographic journey.<\/p>\n\n      \n              \n        \n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\"><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-image-contained\" id=\"block_633f351ce25f2\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n  \n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:92%\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/3540027\/family-celebrating-diwali\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"buy_url\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Stocksy_comp_3540027-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Stocksy_comp_3540027-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Stocksy_comp_3540027-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Stocksy_comp_3540027-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Stocksy_comp_3540027.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n              <\/a>\n            <figcaption>\n                      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stocksy.com\/saptakganguly\/showcase?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"image-author\">\n              Saptak Ganguly\n            <\/a><br>\n                          <\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns stocksy-generic-text-image\" id=\"block_63407cb82ba59\">\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n    \n              <p><span style=\"color: #7b7b7b;\">Where do you find your inspiration?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I find my inspiration in life, in nature, in light and darkness.
