Tapan Das
The camera has always been his first love. While he was in class VIII, he used to roam around with a camera and dreamt of making a living out this passion. He was the eldest child in the family and his parents, like everybody else, wanted their son to become an engineer. He was brilliant in studies too and he did study in the Jorhat Engineering College. But the attraction of the film and light was so strong that he quit his engineering studies midway and landed in Guwahati to start a whole new life altogether. He is Tapan Das, who was become synonymous with photography in Assam.
