Description

In this episode, The Photobook Podcast features Kolkata-based photographer and debutante bookmaker Debsuddha Banerjee, who's work often explores personal narratives and the lives of his family and close friends. In 2024, he published Crossroads, which examines kinship, sisterhood and companionship through the lives of his two aunts Gayatri & Swati Goswami. The book was published by Images Vevey and shortlisted for the Arles Author Book Award earlier this month. Join us as we delve into Suddha's invigorating world filled with loss and longing, but also hope and love.
