Photography exhibition

Glimpses of scenic beauty

AFSAR AHMED
It is often said that the world does not fit conveniently into a camera. But a good snapshot captures the essence of a moment from slipping away. The ongoing photography exhibition at the Zainul Gallery of the Institute of Fine Arts of Dhaka university homes in on the gamut of feelings reflected on human faces, and the beauty of the earth and skies that surround rural Bangladesh. Organised by Dhaka Photographic Institute, the exhibition titled "Alokchitrey Bangladesh", features 36 photographs of nine students of the Institute's Diploma in Photography course.
The exhibition's subjects are drawn from field trips by students. The end result are stunning landscapes, a study of flora and fauna, boats, some ancient edifices or pictures of individuals ranging from infants to elderly people. In terms of subject, sharpness, colour, contrast and composition the pictures are appealing.
For instance, Tariqul Hasan captures the essence of Bedey Polli with a number of boats anchored in a tranquil canal. The surreal beauty of a bathing child seen through two wide branches of a tree, a boy standing beside a wide window of a mud hut or a resting boat on a dull afternoon just evokes a viewer's fancy.
Suparna Bose's photographs are evocative, as well. There's a child in a farmer's hat with a bright smile, the composition of a palm tree with numerous Babui nests and some electric cables, a majestic Shimul tree in full bloom or fishermen netting for fish. Kazi Zahid's photographs of the brickfield workers, masons and blacksmiths effectively reflect the hardship of the underprivileged community. In contrast to these, are the pictures of a lyrically beautiful village river with volumes of Kachuripana (water-hyacinth) and bamboo poles and the composition of water lilies.
Shamsher Ahmed takes us on a poetic ride with his beautifully framed subjects: the process of boat making, a lady cooking outside in the rain holding an umbrella, a boatman carrying hundreds of pineapples or the old edifice of Kashinath Bhaban.
An old man with a turban and an axe engaged in planting vegetables, or a black and white photograph of a crippled youth on crutches, painting a wall with splashes of colours during the Ekushey by Prito are amazing.
The bond between two children and a cow is depicted in Shahana's photograph. However, Rony's snap shots exemplify his love for rivers through his compositions. A small boat seen on a river during sunset or the composition of few boats and some busy people on the backdrop of a river are pointers to this.
Jewel has captured a village fair complete with colourful toys and the scenic beauty of the countryside.
Though the photographs are appealing, there is room for innovation on their form or design. The exhibition will continue till May 22.
