Southern Exposure: Highlighting the work of photographers from the Majority World

This photograph was taken in Kumira, Chittagong. I came across this cowboy in a field. He seemed tired and sat down on the firewood he had collected and started playing his flute. And then this marvellous, god-gifted sunlight came out through the deep clouds. I immediately pointed my camera but it wouldn’t work. After a while it began to work but I could only manage two frames.

Right from my childhood, nature has always attracted me. I’ve wanted to frame the colours of different seasons in my camera. I started photography as a student, then joined Drik. After working there for several years I set up my own organization called Photo File and now I have a lot of work: documentary, product and industrial photography.

I can’t imagine being without photography for a single moment and I love nature. I’ll cling to them both for the rest of my life.
