A work of art Is a creation of an artist, similarly a photographer catches the glimpse that strikes him and reproduces them lor those who were not there lo witness Ihe beauty of the moment, which is no less than an art work.
A week long photography exhibition by M H Rahman Moni Is being held at the Alliance Francaise de Dhaka from February 25 to March 2.
Moni has tilled his exhibition Life and Truth" which tries to capture the essence of the Bangladeshi life. His all black and while exhibition is a brilliant collection of the sights of Bangladesh, some of which we are familiar with and some of which we are not.
Moni is mostly drawn to the different religious rites that prevails among the Bangladeshi people. Festival of the Durga Puja. a miniature Koran Sharif, young children learning lo read the Holy Koran. people are seen lo prepare for the prayer or an old man reading the holy Koran on his own in a mosque. Ihe images bring out Ihe devotion into the hub of the story that Moni wants to tell.
Moni loves to work with black and while and that's why perhaps he tries lo bring out (he effeci of the light and shade more in his works. A village fish market, seen in the evening from a bird’s eye view creates a visual effect of light and shade tlr.il is just breathtaking. The small lamps arc kept beside Ihe bowl of fishes and khe lights from (hose lamps are reflecting the silver fishes, creating an amazing tapestry of luminosity and shades.
The photographer s love for creating patterns can also be traced In another picture where the clothes have been kept in (he sun after dipping into the colour for drying up is seen to make a geometrical outline on the ground.
The common men with their simple likes and dislikes, their common occupations, their carefree life finds their way Into his photographs. The cobbler working on shoes with dedication. young glris gazing Into the camera with curiosity and a smile on their face, a bamboo fence and a water pot. a village road after the monsoon with its cracks and the water piled in the holes where only the muddy legs of the miserable passers by can seen, or a tired laborer taking a time off and sleeping on the lop of a truck, the glistening body of a laborer in a rice mill working hard to meet the demands of his family, young children cleaning the drain, the images go on and on laying bare the truth of life In from of us.
Moni also capture some spectacular images of Bangladeshi landscape, where the hills, the misty river, the shady landscape in the horizon, come alive to take us (o a Bengal rich in beauty and simplicity.
Morri's pictures are quintessentially Bangladeshi. The people, the landscape, the emotion, feelings, the passion that drives the common Bangladeshis are brilliantly focused through the photographer’s camera.
