An overcrowded train journey during eid festival
Countless passions in my life are travel and photography.
Through my photography I seek to document my own personal experiences, to capture prospects and events as I see them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world I've seen. As the images of other photographers have inspired me to explore the world, I hope my own contributions will inspire others to do the same.
I was born in 1977 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. After completion graduation, I’ve attended a basic course on Photography from a local Institute of Photography in Dhaka. I got opportunity to take part in numerous workshops as continuous professional development under reputed photographers and professionals.

A photograph tells millions more than a sentence! I do believe this from the core of my heart. Despite having eye soothing natural beauty, hardworking happy people and colorful cultural festivals of Bangladesh, is not well represented in the international arena. I try to capture the intricate social fabric represented in people’s work, culture and lifestyle through my photography. I am trying to showcase the positive Bangladesh to the international community.Countless passions in my life are travel and photography.
