PictolicPhotographer Supernaw das was born in Calcutta, studied at the School of visual arts in new York. For his graduation project, he returned to his homeland, where he captured a vanishing profession and caste of India. Here, there are still these exotic craft like a street astrologer, street ear cleaner, manufacturer of manual mills and rickshaw. Especially these photos is a curious fact that Suprana reported revenue of their characters, and they're not always predictable.
