Shahadat Parvez

This is Shahadat Parvez, a professional photographer. Born in 8 October, 1978 at Gazaria in Munshiganj district, some 28 kilometers off the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka. Had a strong knack for writing and reporting since childhood and began working in the field of journalism in 1991.
Amid dilemmas over existing the mindset of the then writers and some of their pieces which invited unnecessary controversies, one fine morning, he realized that photography is his real medium for free expression.
Thus his journey with camera began and in course of time he secured the job of a deputy chief photojournalist at the Prothom Alo, a leading Bangla newspaper, at his age of just 27 years.
Parvez contributed to many international and national newspapers, magazines and periodicals with his noteworthy images. He has some little credits such as the Asahi Shimbun Award and the Asia Press Photo Award ( APPC ).
Parvez feels free in photojournalism and documentary photography and interested to work with socially ignored, deprived, oppressed and the peripheral communities.
Besides all these, Parvez is very much curious to work for the children, irrespective to class, cast and creed.
