Name: Krishnendu aka KEN/Kenny
Profession: Tourist Guide (Retired) (Northern Region, Cultural, inbound francophone tourists only. Edit; Currently building a Destination Management Company.
Equipment: Canon EOS 5D, 24mm f2.8, 85mm f1.8, 200mm f2.8
Favourite Subjects (of Photography): Street, Faces, People
Intended Objectives: This is a tough one, makes you reflect. I intend to learn some amount of Post Production to make my work more presentable, along with keeping up my learning of this medium that has remained so enigmatic for me despite so many years.
Favourite Photographers: Steve MCCURRY, Henri Cartier BRESSON, Raghu RAI
A Little Background: Krishnendu KES, known to some people as Kenny and to others as Ken. I by no means can or will call myself a photographer. I tried developing an interest in photography in the mid 80s with the help of my father and a Russian camera which was not a Zenith. In this field I have been essentially an autodidact. And fortunately I have been in touch with some really very good photographers for the past decade and more, who have been in the field of photojournalism and this has influenced some of my work. Which is why most of my work is on the street trying to capture action and people, their faces and expressions. I have always hoped that meeting such great photographers and seeing their work would rub off on me. Unfortunately that has not been the case. I am and probably forever will struggle with correct framing, evaluating light and colours, getting distractive elements out when I frame my subject. Today, thanks to a lot of help and advice from one of my photographer friends, I have managed to acquire over time a decent camera, some decent glass. And as far as digital Post-processing is concerned, my knowledge in this area is close to non-existent. And I do realise this immense lacuna. I am working towards getting this lacuna filled with some workable knowledge of getting my pictures in better presentable shape.
