Self-Restrain
I believe in immersion photography and spend months listening, observing and talking with my subjects over the course of a project. Photography has become a part of my identity - a force that makes me think, feel and understand human being and the human condition.
Currently, I am working with different social groups that are deprived of basic human needs. However, at the same time, I am exploring their traditional lifestyle and learning from it.
I have completed basic and foundation courses from “Pathshala South Asian Media Institute “. Later on, I also participated in a documentary photography course of Counter Photo, another renowned photography institute of Bangladesh. Currently, I am pursuing Diploma in photography from Alliance Francaise de Dhaka. I am a lifetime member of “Bangladesh Photographic Society (BPS)” and also a member of PSA (Photographic Society of America.

entry description
This feisty eye does not fear society despises, this face does not fear being ostracized by the society, and this tincture of smile neglects all the blabbering of judgment. The conventional society is one side and her smirk say that she could care less about those pointy fingers for being a part of Bede community. Her identity does not withdraw her, instead, she is getting more and more confident of her identity. She looks through the barrier made by society and takes a deep breath thinking, at least she has accepted her identity and that gives her nothing but a pair of wings to fly toward the freedom of mind.about the photographer
