Kazi Mehrab Hossain Opi
“Photography to me is an instrument that allows me to explore around me in a different way, where I can hold the moments that I discover. I am passionate in photographing nature, landscapes, and the diverse wildlife. My photography captures mostly the quiet moments of nature that often go unnoticed. I am interested in stillness, the calm of forests, open fields, rivers, and the silent presence of animals. These moments seem to be simple, but they carry insightful meaning and significant beauty. I observe that nature speaks softly, and photography helps me listen, feel, and understand nature better. My work focuses on unexplored aspects of everyday environments. I try to observe and frame the reality. Photography allows me to explore life, time, and truth through light and space. My photographic efforts shall hopefully allow viewers to slow down, and connect with the natural world in a more thoughtful way.”

The Green beauty and versatile elements in the society of my country are my photographic inspirations. From quiet rivers and green fields to busy streets and urban moments, each place tells a story.
