About

I was born in 1989, in a middle class family in Bangladesh. I studied computer science, before leaving my computer career to study photography at Pathshala South Asian Media Institute from 2010 to 2013, where I was also trained to produce and edit Audio-Visuals. I learnt photography from the masters like Morten Krogvold, Philip Blenkinsop, Max Pam, Asim Rafiqui and Shahidul Alam. I also worked under mentorship of Saiful Huq Omi for a year. My works got published in National Geographic, Sky News UK, Trouw, Marie Claire Italia, Saudi Aramco World, Daily Mail UK, Sunday Times, Birding Asia, SAEVUS among others. I have also worked for The New York Times, Thomson Reuters Foundation, Save The Children, Channel 4, Human Rights Watch, Equal Rights Trust, Embassy of The Kingdom of Netherlands, European Union among others. Currently I’m working as a Documentary photographer/cinematographer at a agency called “Counter Foto”. I also work as a contributor at Polaris Images and Thomson Reuters Foundation. I’m working with Saiful Huq Omi in his mammoth documentary film project on Rohingya refugees around the world as an assistant producer and co-cinematographer.

    Reza is a true professional - providing creative vision, offering technical solutions, and making interview subjects feel calm and confident to be on camera. In a world where you can’t be on location, Reza and his team act like extensions of the overall team and commit to making the project the best it can be.

    Easy to work with, good communication and prolific work in the field. Willing to put in long hours in the camps and in the evening, very good with the people we were interviewing.
