The workers are working in an aluminum cooking pot manufacturing factory in Dhaka.
I don’t photograph struggle, suffering, or the lives of the underprivileged to make people sad. I create to open eyes—to reveal the unseen strength, quiet beauty, and unshakable resilience of those who have so little, yet carry the weight of the world with unmatched courage and grace.

Yes, pain is real. But so is hope. And sometimes, a single image can awaken something deep within us—a sense of empathy, a moment of reflection, or the courage to change.
If my work can touch even one heart, it has fulfilled its purpose.
"I see the beauty of people and the human soul in the pictures I take. And though the circumstances of some of the people I portray may be grim, back-breaking, depraved, the people themselves are always remarkable characters and souls"
For me Photography is my language, to access, to communicate, to identify and mostly to make it hear. Through photography I only jot down my heart’s language. The best part about being a photographer is that I’m able to articulate the experiences of the voiceless and to bring their identities to the forefront which gives meaning and purpose to my own life.
