I was a student of science but novel always attracted me. I always feel affection to know about people, their life style, culture & their fight to survive for alive. I wish to be a writer but now I am a Photographer because I believe every good photographer is a good author.

I have won prestigious Honorable Mention Award in the ” Ian Parry Scholarship 2014.” Bangladesh Photographic society GRAND 2013, 3rd Prize in Photoshare Photo Contest 2013 etc. I am working now Photobank Gallery (Photo agency) since 2011.

In this long 10 years I have to fight against my family and my financial crisis. Photography is not my dream & passion that is my life.If I will achieve this scholarship my long struggle photographic life will be find success. I think this is a great chance for me to prove myself and build up my career.
