Sk Shahrukh Sohel is an internationally recognised fine-art landscape, nightscape and astrophotographer based in West Bengal, India. With over a decade of experience, his work is known for technical precision, dramatic atmosphere and mastery of difficult light.
He specialises in wide-angle, long-exposure compositions that bring out movement in silky monsoon waterfalls, shifting tides and sweeping cloud over high-altitude peaks. At night he photographs Milky Way arches, star trails and airglow over remote dark-sky terrain in the Himalayas and Ladakh.
His editing leans cinematic and fine-art: contrast, depth and directional light that lead the eye from foreground lines to a monumental backdrop.
