Great visuals from one of the most interesting city.
Quite disappointing. Dev Nayak is renowned in Kolkata and this is the first time I saw his photography. But they are so ordinary !! Half of the shots show poor sense of light. Some shots are not focused….there is no story building. The bar photos had a great potential to show talent. But he fails there miserably. Going by his profile, I am sure he has taken much better shots in life. I request him to showcase them and do a careful selection so that people like us who have some sense of understanding what good photography is are not disappointed…
