Actors, by Saniar Rahman Rahul
Sometimes when children see camera and realize they are being photographed, they suddenly become actors, acting as if something really important is going on. This is one of those moments. I photographed them in Tanguar Haor, a unique wetland ecosystem of national and international importance that provide the livelihood for more than 40,000 people.

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.

This photography shows a common experience every Travel Photographer faces when “shooting”. Kids want to take part in your performance actively. Therefore they try to play the roles and making jokes of your presence in their village. That is a perfect and convenient situation for the photographer because he can catch the real contact with local hooligans and show his distanced approach to his work and just treat it as a kind of play with kids … and doing pictures. I experienced the same when exploring Flores Island in Indonesia.
