Md. Rasel Rony - Celebrating Life 2018 1st Prize Winner - Photography Contest

This is the second time I have achieved first prize in 10 years, as a pursuing photographer and I never expected to win this award. The desire for capturing moments and art through my lenses started as a hobby and later nurtured as passion. This achievement will help me to grow as a professional photographer and I will strive to continue further in this field with dedication. I never planned on entering this competition because of my busy life but when I saw one of my pictures of Rayer Bazaar matching this year's theme, I thought of giving it a shot. Winning prize or awards is not my key ambition rather gaining recognition and being able to acquire remarkable shots is what I will endure lifelong. I will continue to grow and foster my photography skills and someday my dream to achieve the highest paramount of success will be fulfilled.
