My name is Yasir Arafat and I’m from Bangladesh. Actually i’ve recently started seriously considering photography as a hobby (past February’2012 I bought my first DSLR a Canon 500D, later on March’2013 I’ve upgraded my gear to Canon 5D MarkII). For lens I’ve use Canon 24mm, Canon 5omm and Canon 70-200mm lens but my favorite is Canon 24mm prime lens which I use most.

Currently I’m so new to the photography world I’m still trying to find my niche so to speak. I seem to be drawn to lifestyle and portrait, but anything interesting that crosses my path I’ll take a shot of and see how it looks.

I love photography because through it I can inevitably start to see how much beauty is all around me, every day is filled with it—in the most ordinary or unexpected places. Photography, through it’s ability to help me to see details and notice the beauty around me, helps me to truly live in the present. It helps me to learn more about myself. Through it I can capture a feeling not just an appearance. Photography has changed my everyday experience. That’s why I love it so much.

I try to tell story through my photograph to the viewer so that I can express myself to them. So that I can communicate across language and culture, share my perspective to other and finally travel in time. To make it more better way it drives me to take better shot everyday and i’m trying to improve myself everyday.

Other than photography I love to travel, watch movies and play table tennis. I’ve done my B.Sc (Bechelor of Science) in Textile Technology and MBA (International Business) from Dhaka University.
