This series “The Other Half” portrays a group of innocent children in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Bangladesh is trapped between the Himalayas in the north and the encroaching Bay of Bengal to the south. Its proximity to the subtropical monsoon climate characterized by wide seasonal variations in rainfall, high temperatures and humidity makes the country particularly vulnerable to natural disasters due to the frequency of extreme climate events storms, tides, and changing weather patterns and its high population density. I draw inspiration from these children I engage with and photograph. The Other Half photography project an endeavor to portray people by way of places, places by way of faces, things as suggestive mindsets, moods embedded in contexts. The settings and themes I seek out are those of change or transition, often to imply notions of loss and hope at once. These are the children who need our help, they need education.
