My personal wish and will is to involve with Photography till my last breath and do something through my lens by which people will remind me for long.
It is not that much pre-planned to involve myself with photography. Back to the year of 2000 my father bought a film camera for our family purpose. But with that I didn’t get that much opportunity to do photography, rather that was used for different family occasion and function.
But in 2005 when my father gifted me a Siemens M 65 Camera Mobile as a birthday gift, suddenly I found a beautiful world through the small lens. Though it can not be said as a formal photography but it was real fun for me to took picture and print them from the studio. In 2012 I found a Facebook group of Rail Spotting maintained by Bangladesh Railway; I started taking pictures of train, people travelling through train, different activity in train station through my Samsung Galaxy Grand Smart Phone. The group member started to like my work very much which was the first real motivation towards my photography life.
Starting from the point I started taking pictures to portray the story of human life, going to the nature and started observing the wild life and took the pictures as well. In 2014 I bought Canon 70D as my first DSLR camera. Later I switched to Nikon and right now using Nikon D850 and Nikor 24-120 Lens. For photography purpose I travelled Chittagong, Cox’s Bazaar, Sylhet, Habiganj, Sirajganj, Pabna, Bogra, Rajshahi, Nator, Chapai Nawabganj, Jaypurhat, Naogaon, Jessore, Kushtia, Khulna, Bagerhat, Nilphamari, Thakurgaon, Gazipur, Dhaka, Tangail, Rajbari and Gopalganj. Among all the places I love to took photograph in any Railway Station and the Sundarban.
In my short photography life I got several award and recognition from different Local and International organization like, Camerana Academy- India, Bogra Photographic Society, Photography of Angel 360° BD, 71pix & Orange BD, Khulna Photographic Society, Phoenix Photographic Society, Bangladesh Photographic Society, Travelettes Of Bangladesh, Bangladesh Integrated Development Trust, BID etc.
