Welcome to the blog of Deb Lahiri, a Kolkata-based street, documentary, and travel photographer. This space is dedicated to visual stories drawn from the everyday rhythms of life — on crowded streets, in hidden lanes, at cultural gatherings, and across journeys through India and beyond.

Through this blog I share:

• Street Photography Insights – candid moments and human connections, captured in real time without staging, reflecting the raw spirit of urban life.

• Documentary Narratives – in-depth photo essays that explore culture, tradition, and social realities with honesty and sensitivity.

• Travel Experiences – journeys across diverse landscapes and cities, highlighting the contrasts and beauty of people, places, and heritage.

Each post combines imagery with reflection — not just how a photograph is made, but why it matters. Whether it is an intimate black-and-white frame from Kolkata’s old quarters or a vibrant travel image from distant streets, every story aims to connect the viewer to the world as I witness it.

This blog is both a personal diary and a shared resource for those passionate about street, travel, and documentary photography. If you are curious about the art of visual storytelling, or simply want to explore life through a photographer’s lens, this is where the journey begins.
