Arka is an independent photographer. He is based in Kolkata, India and is keen on doing documentary photography. He believes that perhaps there never has been a more important time when visual media should take the front row in serving the environment and humanity.  At a time when major global challenges, from climate change to never-ending wars and terrorism, have queued up and pose serious threats, the visual medium can help to put focus in the right direction.

The primary focus of his photographs is to portray the various environmental, cultural and social elements that can draw attention to problems or apprise events and efforts that can motivate. The works have tried to encompass different subjects from climate change, gender biases to cultural and social events that exalt humanity or give a glimpse of its diverse nature.

His work has been published in National Geographic, New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, Feature Shoot, SDN etc.
