Eyes Are The Windows To The Soul

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I have always loved people and have always wanted to learn about them from up close. People, their culture, their experiences, always fascinated me since my childhood. I found out that photography gives me opportunities to go and learn about people and their journeys.

Since childhood, I have been fascinated with people and their faces. I grow up in the northern part of Bangladesh, and from a young age, I saw a lot of people from the islands. Their faces were always different from other people I had seen. They were burnt with the sun, had many scratches on their face, and their eyes were red. Although all those faces grabbed my attention as a child, one of my main reasons to become a photographer was to capture those incredible faces and bring more light to them. In addition, I wanted to share their beautiful and unique faces with others. As I said before, I have a special affection for portraits and have produced an extensive series of them. Genuine smiles, emotions and people’s stories attract me the most. I want to capture the purest of emotions in my photographs.

I also occasionally feel inspired by other subjects and compositions and try not to limit my creative instincts. I also do street life and travel photography. I seek to discover and photograph that which is unseen by me or others. Therefore, I find myself becoming an explorer with a powerful desire to travel.

After my studies at the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh, graduating with a Masters in Applied English Linguistics, I started photography which became a growing passion.

I have been following the photography workshops and courses at GMB Akash Institute of Photography since 2014 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

These photographs are from a special collection of mine. In many traditions, the eye represents “the window of the soul”; this means that it immediately reflects our emotions, our fears, and our deepest desires.
