About

Growing up in Bangladesh, a developing country as it is, he has experienced a lot of hardships. As a Bangladeshi he sees it as a responsibility to express these to the world. He hears about deaths and crimes and famines, but deep down he always felt that the victims needed to share and reach out. With time this feeling began to grow very rapidly and eventually photography found him because to him photography is a means of expressing himself, besides being an unheard voice of humanity. It gives voice to the voiceless. He started visiting places where people are deprived and he does what he can to help them – listening to their stories, sometimes capturing them in my camera. He would say he is merely a storyteller who tells the tales of people’s lives by his camera.
