Rohan Chakravarty is a photographer and visual artist at Quarter Melon Studio in Kolkata. He has been working in this field for the past four years.
Recalling his childhood, Rohan says that he was born into a modern family where some were doctors, some were explorers, and some were philosophers. He always got motivation from his parents to explore the world through his eyes; he was free to find answers to his questions. He feels that whatever he is today is the result of his upbringing.
Rohan received a Master's degree in business administration. He was always interested in photography, so he ventured into the woods for two years, where he worked as a naturalist.
Describing his mistakes, Rohan says that mistakes tell us what to do and what not to do, so mistakes should be made. He used to take photographs like everyone else, but then he discovered his niche.
Speaking about his achievements, Rohan says that he has created photographs the way he wanted, and he considers this an achievement. He is content with his life as a photographer because he has complete control over his creativity. He gives more importance to internal satisfaction and growth than achieving tangible things like medals, awards, and so on.
When asked about his role models, Rohan says that he has met many people in his life who have been an integral part of his life process. Among them, he considers his mentor, Sarkar Prateek, from his initial years of school at the School of Photography, to have a lot to do with who he is today.
In his leisure time, Rohan enjoys cycling and spends a lot of time on the track. He also enjoys playing badminton, spending time walking in nature, and reading books. His hobby is collecting aquarium fish. He considers many such activities as his own kind of meditation, which further enhances his creativity.
Rohan believes his mantra in life is to be content with where he is while simultaneously creating something that is originally his own. He exhorts that sometimes we just have to let things pass us by, and when the right time comes, the right door will open by itself. In those circumstances, just be patient, wait for the right time, and when the path emerges before your eyes, walk on that path by yourself. He believes that seeing beauty in the smallest process with the greatest patience allows you to fine-tune your creativity and all the complications in your life.
Rohan advises the youth that the first important thing is to talk to your mentors, and the second thing is to believe in yourself. He advises being aware of where you stand, having confidence in yourself, and maintaining your composure throughout the process.
