Saniar Rahman Rahul lives in Chowdhori Para, Malibag, which is a few miles from the center of the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. He grew up in a family where photography was part of everyday life. His father was so passionate about photography. Rahul became interested in photography from his father.

He was fascinated by seeing his father taking pictures with a camera while his family was in Iraq during his childhood. Later in life, in 1997, while he became very much attached with his profession of ‘graphic design’, Rahul rediscovered the creative side of photography. He started his career as a professional graphic designer in October of 1995, in a pre-press house called Color Scan, which is one of the pioneers in the pre-process printing media in Bangladesh. Afterwards, he moved to Power Point, another pre-press house. Before he finally settled into advertising, he also worked in an IT company called Abtab IT. Moving to advertising from printing media was a big step for him. In 2005, he joined G3, a special wing of Gray Worldwide. Two years later, he moved to Paper Rhyme. Now he is working as the Associate Art Director in Pearl communication, one of the leading advertising agencies in Bangladesh. We will discover more about him and his forays into photography in the following interview with him.
