Biography

Salahuddin Ahmed is a documentary photographer based in Bangladesh. As a citizen of a third world country, social issues have the main priority to him. Climate change, migration caused by natural and man maid are his prime concern for last couple of years. As the threat of climate change looms nearer each day, Bangladesh is one of the countries that are in high-risk of climate-related disasters and migrations. He actually knows his work will not change anything dramatically, but it encourages anyone to think about the positive change while he believes the beginning of the beginning is very important. His photo was printed on the front page of the New York Times International Edition.
Ahmed’s work has been distributed by Contact Press Images since 2017.
