Description

Soumendu Roy today is widely known for his long association with Satyajit Ray. He was Ray's cinematographer for a generation of films that is celebrated the world around even now. Witness to a great genius, Roy also carved a niche for himself in his own right, working with other stalwarts of Bengali cinema like Tapan Sinha and Buddhadeb Dasgupta, among others. Through the Eyes of a Cinematographer is the behind-the-scenes story of one of the finest cameramen India has known, his childhood experiences, his love of the 'moving picture', the many intricacies of film-making, and the painstaking toil and unexpected turn of luck that are required in equal measure to succeed. This book is a must-read for all film aficionados.
