Hello first-time visitors and returning friends — thank you for being here.

From the bottom of my heart, I hope you’re having a wonderful day. And if today hasn’t been the best, remember this: every night is followed by a new morning. In photography terms, there is always a sunrise waiting after a sunset.

Hi, I’m Utathya Roy — but you can simply call me Roy. I’m an IT professional by career, often living wherever my projects take me around the world. But beyond code, deadlines, and meetings, there is something that truly keeps me inspired: photography.

Interestingly, my photography journey began on an Indian train.

I was returning home from a science meet when something caught my attention — a small square black box hanging from the little finger of a train hawker. It was an old Kodak film camera. Even though I was almost certain I couldn’t afford it, curiosity made me ask the price. To my surprise, it was incredibly cheap.

Of course, there was a catch. The camera was defective.

But I didn’t know that then.

I spent every bit of money I had to buy it, and later even had to ask a friend’s dad for a ride home because my pockets were empty.

With great excitement, I finished the entire roll of film. But when the negatives were developed, reality hit me — the camera had a light leak, and almost every photograph was completely washed out.

Almost.

One photo survived.

And I still have it today.

It’s a photograph of my very first pet.

That imperfect camera gave me something perfect — the beginning of a lifelong passion. Since then, photography has become my way of observing the world, capturing moments, and telling stories through light, emotion, and perspective.

This journey continues today, driven by curiosity, faith, and the encouragement of people like you who stop by to see my work.

If my photographs bring even a small smile to your day, then every click of the shutter is worth it.

Thank you for visiting!!
