Three Fishermen, by Saniar Rahman Rahul

It was February; the winter was going to finish shortly in Hakaluki Haor, the largest marsh wetland resource in Bangladesh. These three fishermen were walking towards the water, where they would do finishing. For birds it’s one of the safest zones, but for people it’s a place of straggle. Bordering with Assam, India, this area stays underwater all over the year, only during the winter some of the lands become visible. Here almost everyone is fisherman.

Saniar Rahman Rahul was the first winner for ‘Photo of the Month Award’ in June 2010. He was fascinated by seeing his father taking pictures with a camera while his family was in Iraq during his childhood. Later in life, in 1997, while he became very much attached with his profession of ‘graphic design’, Rahul rediscovered the creative side of photography. He started his career as a professional graphic designer in October of 1995, in a pre-press house called Color Scan, which is one of the pioneers in the pre-process printing media in Bangladesh. Afterwards, he moved to Power Point, another pre-press house. Before he finally settled into advertising, he also worked in an IT company called Abtab IT. Moving to advertising from printing media was a big step for him. In 2005, he joined G3, a special wing of Gray Worldwide. Two years later, he moved to Paper Rhyme. Now he is working as the Art Director of Grey World Wide, one of the ten largest advertising agencies in the world.
