I am a photographer, who is of late specialising in people photography. It took me five years to realise that people are the most important subject to photograph. They are the most challenging, but the most rewarding in the end. Photographing people is like writing history; its only a lot more accurate. This is a venture of mine to write history with a machine, popularly known as ’camera’.

Some people know me as a travel blogger. Its for sure that my long-time interest in travelling and blogging will be with me all the way.

I hope visitors will enjoy what I was able to see through the lens. Thank you very much for visiting my site.

    Kamrul - Hasan says:

    "I am not finding any word to praise his works. He has so many great photographs of Bangladesh, which i wish i could take by myself.

    He can amaze you with exceptional images from a simple place ... a true sign of a great photographer. I had the opportunity to go with him in photography tours, each and every time i find myself nowhere when i see his works. He also maintains a great blog which i would recommend to everyone if s/he want's to visit Bangladesh.

    Beside photography, he is a great person to interact with and love his selflessness about knowledge sharing ...

    Keep going sharif bhai and let the world know, how beautiful our country is ... :)"

    Catch the dream says:

    "I just want to say one thing. If you are a Bangladeshi and living abroad, then don't see his photos.... .because if you see them, you will just cry and come to your home in the next flight available. So much we are missing in our own country but travelling other countries wasting much money. Why not see our own treasures, which have been buried under our neglecting behaviour? Let's learn to look through the eyes of Sharif Vai."

    "I have only been looking at Ahmed's images for a short while but I find I am drawn back to his page again and again. I find that his images represent perfectly the range contrasts in his stunning home country. His work is not only an interesting cultural record but is also a very personal view of Bangladesh. Please take your time to look around here."
