Achinto BHADRA
Born in 1959 in Kolkata, where he lives and works.
Prior to taking up photography as a profession in 1984, managed the Crafts Centre at Asha Niketan, Calcutta – L’arche International, community for the mentally challenged. Living and working with them had influenced my social and aesthetic sensibility.
He studied photography at Chitra Bani, Calcutta and at the London College of Printing on receiving the Charles Wallace Scholarship.
Over the years as an independent documentary photographer my interest and assignments from National and International Development Agencies led me to cover issues of the urban poor and the marginalized children and women.
Art of his work “ Another me” has appeared on the 13th Noorderlicht Photofestival, the Netherlands, and in C International Magazine (Ivory Press, London)..
