Photographer: Sharwar Apo

I started taking interest in photography back in 2016. Since then, I have traveled almost all over
Bangladesh and abroad to taking pictures of different events, people and cultures.
Documentary Photography is my strong suit. That’s why I like to think myself as an artist and a
storyteller when it comes to describing my role as a photographer. I fill my frames with stories
that everyone ignores but needs to be told. They are of the voiceless, the helpless and the
forsaken. My ongoing long term documentary projects are on Climate change under the title
“effect of river erosion” , “Climate migrants” and ‘’tears of water’’.
