Sumitra’s love of photography, including location and studio photography,
began in 1980. She was initially employed as a designer for Lotus Leather of Mt. Shasta, California. To the delight of her employer, her photos were chosen for an international advertising campaign by North Beach Leather of New York. This was the beginning of her labor of love.
Her work has appeared in many publications including:
