It all started during the early years of my teenage life where I felt keen about capturing moments, especially faces, expressions and framing them. Sooner than I could realize, it had turned into my passion.
One such mentionable memory would be my opportunity to work as an assistant photographer in "Doob - No Bed of Roses", a film nominated from Bangladesh in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 91st Academy Awards.

" Portraits, to me, are whole new life forms that I feel I can interact with and through. Hence I see portrait photography as an art that captures light to give rise to untold stories of people, share and preserve them, to which I have wholeheartedly dedicated my life." -Az Shuvo
