Currently living in Dhaka and after finishing my graduation on Electrical Engineering working as a Photojournalist in The Daily Star, the leading English daily in Bangladesh.

 

I am interested to produce photo documentary on people, society and different issues of rural and urban areas of Bangladesh. I have traveled different areas of Bangladesh in search of unknown faces and stories. At present I am practicing of understanding human psychology and the barriers of them to survive in society.

 

My photos have been exhibited in many national and international group exhibitions. And I have several publications in the major daily newspapers of Bangladesh.

 

I am also involved with Bangladeshi Photographers (BP)a nonprofit online base photographic organization in Bangladesh. Where we all professional and amateur photographers are using our photographs as our weapon to break the social barriers and problems to build a beautiful world full of millions of smiling faces.
