In collaboration with the Bangladesh College Photography Association (BCPA), the AIUB Photography Club (AIUBPC), hosted an artist talk session on Wednesday, 7 December 2022. The session was conducted by Mr. Abir Abdullah, an independent photographer and instructor at Alliance de Françoise Dhaka. The workshop began with brief introductions of the respected speaker and additional guests, including the Farhan Ahmen Rafin, the President of BCPA.
Mr. Abdullah shared his experience on photography over the years, highlighting some of the work that received recognition. He then discussed the fundamentals of photojournalism, post-processing techniques, content-oriented photography, and the risks associated with working in such a field. He showcased some of his previous works like “Death Trap”, "The Rana Plaza Accident and its Aftermath", "Bashundhara City Shopping Mall Fire", and "Different Calamities around the Country". An interactive Q&A segment was conducted afterwards, where he clarified various queries on photography from the participants. A "Single-Day Photo Contest" was also arranged during the three-day activation prior to the workshop, in which AIUB students submitted their own photographic work and selected winners were awarded with crests.
The facilitator and members of BCPA all expressed their thoughts on the event, encouraging the young generation to follow through on their interest in photography and build a stronger purpose of bringing about positive change through it. Mr. Ameen was presented with a token of appreciation by AIUBPC, with the hope of more such collaborative initiatives on photography in the near future.
