Biography

I started taking interest in photography back in 2014. Since then, I have traveled almost all over Bangladesh and abroad to taking pictures of different people and cultures. Documentary Photography is my strong suit. That’s why I like to think myself as an artist and a storyteller when it comes to describing my role as a photographer. I fill my frames with stories that everyone ignores but needs to be told. They are of the voiceless, the helpless and the forsaken. My ongoing long term documentary project effect of river erosion due to climate change under the title "Waiting for last wave.
