Ranjan Bhattacharya

Ranjan Bhattacharya is an advertising photographer and author based in Kolkata, India, with over two decades spent inside India's advertising industry—on sets, with clients, and behind campaigns that actually ran.

His commercial work spans fashion catalogues, corporate portraits, luxury interiors, and large-scale advertising—with clients including Zoho, Amazon India, Utsav Fashion, Flipkart, Coloroso, House of Lalittya (Delhi NCR), and Green Square (Mumbai).

He is the author of two books—Behind the Campaign: A Photographer's View of Branding, Clients, and Chaos and Beyond the Frame: The Psychology of Visual Impact and Composition. The first pulls back the curtain on the real world of commercial shoots. The second explores why certain images stay with us—and others don't.

When it's not a shoot, it's a story. Ranjan believes the most powerful images are built on the same instinct that drives good writing—the ability to see what others miss.
