Photography in Bangladesh began with the liberation war of 1971, against Pakistan.[1][citation needed] At the time, inevitably, war time photography was of utmost prominence, which has also largely helped document history, with real evidence. Since the war till present, photography and photojournalism have come to include and cover a large array of subjects including landscape, politics, wildlife, fashion etc.
It is noteworthy that photography was introduced and developed as an institutional and academic discipline through personal efforts, without any mentionable assistance or support from the government.
Bangladesh Liberation
Photography during the liberation war documented mostly two things; first the tyranny, abuse and genocide carried out by the Pakistani army and second, the preparation, training and struggle of the people, very largely just civilians, for freedom. Some of the notable local photographers of the time are Mohammad Alam, Anwar Hossain, Naid Uddin Ahmed and Rashid Talukder,Shubho Salateen among others. [2] [3]
Post Independence
“Since the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971 the socio– economic, political, cultural, educational and technical aspects of photography have gradually been transformed. This process of transformation is distinctive in terms of chronology, theme and genre, besides which various individual characteristics of various photographers also became stronger.”- Rafiul Islam (2007) Photographic organizations which were active or created after the independence include Camera Recreation Club (CRC), Bangladesh Photographic Society (BPS), Alokchitra Silpi Samsad (ASS), Chittagong Photographic Society (CPS), Bangladesh Alokchitra Federation (BAF), Drik Picture Library Limited, MAP Agency of Photography (MAP), Aalok Group of Photographers, Bangladesh Photographic Council (BPC), Bangladesh Photographic Association (BPA) and Bangladesh Photographers Welfare Association. These organizations helped the growth and development of photography and supported local photographers in their endeavors, through arranging competitions, exhibitions, contests on a national level, and through providing training, workshops, libraries, laboratory etc. [4]
Bangladeshi photographers have a whole array of subjects that they now photograph, and some of them are subject to trends. Bangladeshi photography includes nature, culture, work/profession or way of life, especially of rural Bangladesh, society and humanism, children and child rights, women’s lives, environment, architecture and archeological remains, travel and adventure, inhabitants of the hilly areas and indigenous communities, birds and animal life, portraits, models, fashion and glamour photography, medical photography, reprography, aerial photography, aviation photography and underwater photography.
