Patience, intuition of sensing a good photograph and good communication skills.
A Dream Yet To Fulfil

Your Favourite City to Photograph
Given that my hometown Chittagong has always been a significant part of my life, I love to photograph this city the most.
The Best Thing You Love About Being A Photographer
It is just the same thing that I love about being a doctor; you get the rare opportunity to see and read people from all walks of life. Not only do I get to learn many things from them, but also meeting a versatile range of people helps me to understand myself better.
Inspiration
My parents and family have always been the greatest inspiration for me. In Bangladesh, where photography is still not seen as something to be proud of, my family members have given it equal respect as me working as a doctor.
