Retired Associate Professor of Botany, Popular Science Activist and writer resides at Berhampore, District Murshidabad, West Bengal, India. He has been doing photography since 1970. At that time he got the opportunity to learn Pictorial Photography from eminent photo-artist Subrata Ray at Santiniketan and with his encouragement Dr. Mandal participated in photography salon from 1971 to 1976. But somehow it was discontinued though Dr. Mandal was not away from photography.
He started with film based black and white photography and switched over to Colour Photography and then to Digital Photography. After retirement he is again participating national and International Photography salon. He also delivers popular talks on photography in different workshops. He also writes articles on photography in Bengali and English. One of his articles ‘Photomicrography’ was published in 2010 in Jubilee Viewfinder as a part of the Golden Jubilee celebration of FIP (1953-2003). The article ‘History of Photography’- (Journey from Pinhole to Digital Photography) was also published in November 2023 issue of Viewfinder. Bengali version of it was published in ‘Jnan O Bijnan’ Saradiya issue in 2024.
His field of interest is pictorial photography especially portrait, child portrait though he is working on various fields of photography.
