Event photographs Workshop Prize Distribution About Subrata Mitra Subrata Mitra (1930–2001) was a famous Indian cinematographer, best known for working with director Satyajit Ray on the legendary Apu Trilogy. He started filming when he was just 21, even though he had no formal training. Subrata changed the way Indian films looked by creating a special lighting method called “bounce lighting” that made scenes look more natural. His camera work added emotion and beauty to films like Pather Panchali, Charulata, and Nayak. He studied at Ballygunge Government High School and later worked with international directors, winning many awards including the Padma Shri. Subrata also taught young filmmakers and loved painting and music. He is remembered as one of India’s greatest artists behind the camera. Rules & Regulations Theme: “My City, My Lens” Open your eyes to the world around you — capture the soul of the place you call home. Theme Description: Your surroundings tell a story — the morning rush on narrow lanes, the aroma of street food, the sound of temple bells, a child flying a kite, or an old man reading the newspaper at a tea stall. This theme invites you to become a visual storyteller — to see beauty in the ordinary and meaning in the everyday. Whether you live in a big city, a small town, or a quiet village — your lens is your voice. Through your photograph, we want to experience what your locality feels like — its people, streets, rituals, struggles, celebrations, and charm. You don’t need famous monuments or big cameras. What matters is your unique point of view.   বিষয় – আমার চোখে আমার শহর    লেন্স বন্দী তোমার শহরের মুহূর্ত এবং জীবন তুমি যেখানেই থাকো না কেন, হোক সে বড় নগর বা ছোট্ট শহরতলী অথবা কোনো শান্ত গ্রাম – তোমার লেন্সই তোমার স্বর, তোমার ছবি দিয়েই আমরা চিনতে চাই , জানতে চাই তোমার চারপাশটাকে নান্দনিক ভাবে –  সেইসব মানুষজন, তাদের রোজনামচা, তাদের লড়াই, উৎসব ,পালাপার্বণ, রাস্তাঘাট আর এইসবের মধ্যে লুকিয়ে থাকা তোমার এলাকার সৌন্দর্য, এলাকার প্রাণটাকে। তোমার ক্যামেরা থাকলে ভাল, না’হলে মোবাইলে তোলা ছবিও গৃহীত হবে। Submission Guidelines Entry Categories Mobile PhotographyPhotos taken using smartphones or tablets of any brand or model.
