Kathmandu. At one time, a young woman was seen rotating the camera angle in almost every program. She was especially seen in cultural programs. While she was taking pictures of the guests in the program, the attention of others would be on that camera person. That young woman is Suk Tumrok.

There is no need to write much about Suk Tumrok because, those who know him, already know that he is a skilled photojournalist. However, this is not enough to talk about Suk. In fact, Suk Tumrok is not only a skilled photojournalist but also another name for struggle.

She started taking photos in 2004. Suk, who initially started taking photos out of curiosity, became a professional photographer in 2010. Recalling those days, Suk said, “Initially, I started taking photos out of curiosity. I used to go to events to take photos to satisfy my curiosity. That’s how I became a photographer.”

Suk Tumrok began her journey of professional photojournalism with the Hong Kong-based magazine ‘Moolbato’. She then joined ‘Bagaincha.com’. After joining Bagaincha.com, she started writing news as well as taking photos.

Suk Tumrok, who struggled for a long time in Kathmandu doing journalism, has been living in the UK for a few years now. After making the UK her workplace, she left professional photojournalism. Suk, who came to Nepal on vacation a few days ago, says, “Today I don’t take photos, I only take them for myself.”

While in Nepal, Suk also took photos of weddings, parties, and various seminars. All of that was to support herself. However, after struggling, she reached the UK. Where she got a job. It would be difficult to support herself if she did not get a job abroad, which is why Suk left active photojournalism.

Photojournalism itself is a risky profession. However, despite taking risks, Suk continued to be an active photojournalist for about 10 years. On the one hand, photojournalism was a passion for her, and on the other hand, it was a compulsion. Because, those who knew and knew that Suk took photos would invite her to events. Once invited, she had to go. That’s how Suk’s photojournalism flourished.

Thus, Suk, who made a name for herself in photojournalism, has now become a social worker. However, journalism is never a past. That is why Suk’s identity is also linked to being a social worker along with a photojournalist.

Photojournalist Suk Tumrok, who came to Nepal for a few days’ vacation, says, “This time I have come for a short vacation. That is why I have not been able to meet my friends. I have planned to meet everyone as much as possible and return to the UK. Let’s see, time will not be enough.”
