Ranjan Bhattacharya – Advertising Photographer & Author
My Journey from Lens to Lines: Presenting My Debut Book – Behind the Campaign
Author’s Story
For over two decades, I’ve lived and breathed the world of advertising photography in India—chasing stories through my lens, composing brands with light, shadow, and soul. From high-fashion photography and celebrity-led campaigns to emotionally charged pre-wedding shoots and minimalist product photography, my journey has always been about storytelling. Only, the stories weren’t written. Until now.
I’m Ranjan Bhattacharya—photographer, visual storyteller, ad campaign architect, and now, author. My debut book, Behind the Campaign, is not just about pictures. It’s about what hides beyond them—the chaos, the insights, the client drama, and the spark of ideas that make campaigns click. This book is for the curious marketer, the self-taught creator, the advertising enthusiast—and anyone who’s ever wondered how campaigns are actually born.
Welcome to the chapter where the photographer picks up a pen.

Behind the Campaign
A Photographer’s View of Branding, Clients, and Chaos.
Not Your Usual Guidebook
This isn’t a how-to manual—it’s a creative field guide, survival journal, and campaign diary rolled into one. Think real-world stories, not lectures.
Real Shoots. Real Drama. Real Chaos.
From sudden client changes mid-shoot to budget battles and unexpected inspiration—every chapter brings you straight into the action.
For Marketers, Creators & the Curious
If you’re into fashion photography, campaign thinking, or storytelling through visuals—this is your backstage pass.
Written Like a Conversation
No jargon. No fluff. Just a story-first tone that feels like a fellow creative pulling back the curtain.
