H2O – Hold It in Your Hands, Make It Part of Your Story
Pre-booking
Kolkata: An Unframed Life is a photographic portrait of Kolkata by documentary and street photographer Somnouli Sarkar. Through a sensitive and observant lens, Sarkar explores the city’s streets, architecture, people, fleeting moments and enduring spirit—revealing a Kolkata that exists beyond its familiar landmarks.
Divided into four thematic parts—Echoes of Eternity, When the City Celebrates, Rhythms in Motion, and Life Goes On—the book presents Kolkata as a city of contrasts, continuity and constant movement.
A visual journey through the soul of Kolkata, where every frame tells a story.

“Sommouli Sarkar’s Kolkata: An Unframed Life is a remarkable book that celebrates the city’s spirit and its flowing continuity in a way never seen before. And it is an H2O Production that will add glamour and charisma to any household, any coffee table, and go a long way to fillip nostalgia for an undying fluency called Kolkata.“
– Ranjan Bandyopadhyay
“In the Lap of Nature” by Raj Sarkar
A collection of 100 Candid nature Photographs from the eyes of a street photographer, finding poetry beyond the street. The images “arrived softly, instinctively shaped by presence, by affection, by a silent conversation between myself and the natural world,”- The author says.
Date of Launch: 2nd May 2026
Regular Price: 2199/- Pre-booking Price: 1599/-
“It was born from instinct. From emotion. From surrender. These pages may not speak to everyone, and that is as it should be. Art does not ask to be universally understood—only to be sincerely offered. Each image carries something of me, something wordless yet deeply personal. At times, it feels as though my soul pressed the shutter, and my body simply followed.”
– DR. FERNANDO YEPEZ, USA

“This book does not ask you to admire the street from a distance. It invites you to slow down, to look closely, and to accept the ordinary as something quietly profound. In doing so, UNSTAGED reminds us why street photography continues to matter – not as a genre, but as a way of paying attention.”

“This rarest of rare collection of Kolkata images takes us back to think forward for a city still coveted by lensmen for its lights and shades, shapes and colours, myths and realities. The present volume addresses all this and, perhaps, a little more. It makes its subject speak its story
