The poetic beauty or Bali

Shammin Sultana's photography exhibition at DAC

Fayza Haq
Speaking at the photographic exhibition of Shamim Sultana, held recently at the Dhaka Art Centre (DAC), noted artiste and media personality Mustafa Monwar, said that Shammin’s poems and her pictures were both worth talking about, lust as a woman's smile is a pleasure to look upon, said Mustafa Manwar, so Shamim's work was a delight to look upon.
Professor Emirates Anisuzzaman, speaking there said Mustafa Monwar was a skilled photographer apart from being a qualified painter. One finds beauty with time in the work of photographers he said. In order to give a unique flavour such as Shammin had given to her photographs, one has to have something unusual to say, said Prof. Anisuzzaman
Noted artist Monirul Islam said photography, in Creek, meant making pictures with light. Pictures could have a political bent or they could deal with war or they could even be simple telling portraits, such as the ones to be
seen in the exhibition. Either you liked a photograph or you didn't, just as you liked a painting or you didn’t, he said. He admired the open spaces of Shammin.
Shammin herself said that having read Jibanananda Das and Rabindranath, she would like to share the beauty of Bali and what she saw there, as the poets made her search for beauty in all that she saw.
Bali is more than just a spot for tourism for a traveler from Bangladesh. Shammin, who leamt the art of Photography at an NGO, has leamt the art of the vedic sayings, as Rabindranath did, when going to Bali. Later on, she completed a photographic course at Alliance Franciase.
Kutta Beach, Bali had the silhouette of Shammin's family seen against the sea, its beach and the golden steak on the horizon. The shadows on the wooden beach were welcoming. Lovina Beach, with its white boat, the pole sticking out to the sky, the sky itself a beauty with the setting sun and the mixture of blue, white and golden
clouds was remarkable
Ubud, Tegallang and Kutta Beach, with the girls making castles in the sand, with a large upturned boat at the background were gorgeous. The sky was fabulous in the case of Kutta Beach, while the green among the palm trees and the layers of cultivation were admirable
The little girl in the Luwak Coffee plantation, Pulina, with cups of tea and coffee in front of her, holding on to a coffee seed and sporting a blue and pink striped dress was superb. The backdrop of the brown wickerwork wall of the shop is interesting. The inclusion of a bit of the greenery outside the coffee house is also interesting .the pigeon on the beach chair on the sea shore, with the girl walking with her multi coloured dress depicts the place well.
So does the picture of the solitary person walking on Kutta Beach, with the surrounding waves of water and the dark ground in the backdrop, with people on them. The shades of blue of the photograph are scintillating.
