Happiest people in the world happens to be in Bangladesh, According to the research done by LONDON School Of Economics in 2006.
Learning about poverty was probably the most valuable thing I have learned during my childhood. In Bangladesh, we learned to be the most happiest people in earth, with the biggest most beautiful smile on the face with very little things you could imagine. That is the only way you can survive in a country like this. I lived with poverty, but I grew up with struggle and happiness.
What that has to do with my Photography? I never learned how to throw something away because it was not good enough. I had to instead learn how to turn "something ordinary" into 100% perfect.

Imagine being a Hindu, being born in a Muslim country, being a student of a catholic school and being a child of a hard working parent and growing up in Bangladesh. I then spent 11 years in beautiful Australia. I am married to a hardworking and strong French woman. I travelled 15 countries and more than 60 cities in Europe and South Asia.

My photographs represents a life that I have lived. The experiences that I have experienced. My photographs represents Diversity, Happiness, Dream and Hope. My photographs are all about sharing and caring for each other.
There is something amazing for each and ever one.
