A photo-enthusiast guided by the ​constant urge to create visual stories

In my soul, I am an observer. I wish to ​observe all things color, all the forms ​light can create, and all being capable ​of making change.

But my longing for a deeper connection to the stories I document

drives me to delve into the lives of those I photograph.

As a multimedia producer for the world's largest NGO,

I have spent the past 10 years traveling my country, ​Bangladesh, collecting stories and visually documenting ​the lives of people and their inspiring journeys.

At the heart of it all, my first love is photography. I thrive ​on the challenge of composing elements within a frame ​in a way that can tell a story all on its own.

I am constantly seeking out the small details that capture ​the essence of a person and the experiences that have ​shaped their lives.

Through my work, I have had the ​privilege of witnessing the resilience ​of the human spirit firsthand.

I have seen people overcome ​unimaginable challenges, from ​natural disasters and conflict to ​poverty and discrimination.

And through my lens, I have been able to share their stories with ​the world, shining a light on their struggles and triumphs in a way ​that hopefully inspires others to act and make a difference.

Despite the demands of my job, I never ​lose sight of the importance of the work I ​do. I know that every photo I take, and ​every interview I conduct, has the ​potential to make a real impact.

In 2022, I began my new life as a freelancer. For the first time in a long time,

I started photographing for myself. I am now rediscovering my voice, reevaluating ​my perspectives, and most importantly, taking more time to observe.


As a documentary photographer and multimedia producer,

who has spent his life in the most densely populated city in the world, I have ​developed a passion for capturing the stillness in people through my images.

At the same time, I am constantly drawn to the silence I find myself in.

It has become a way for me to find my center in this transition.

In a world that is often chaotic and fast-paced,

I find the stillness in the faces and bodies

I photograph to be powerful.

Whether I am capturing a quiet moment of contemplation, or the

silence of a person lost in thought, I am always striving

to create images that are both striking and thought-provoking.

My name is Tousif Farhad, and I am one of the lucky few who have found ​their life's purpose in the work that they do. I wish to spend this short life ​visually documenting this journey for myself, and for others.

In the last 10 years, I have conceptualized, directed, shot, and edited over ​50 long and short-form documentaries, designed and strategised some of ​the most significat campaigns for BRAC.

And all throughout this journey, in every project that I have been a part of, ​a single frame has always been my starting point.
