I found this Oriental Garden Lizard beneath a coconut tree while I was traveling to Kaptai, Rangamati. It has very sharp sense, so I had to keep patience, crawled and took cover while taking some of its shots. Here is a single shot to demonstrate. They are very easy to identify; however their physical complex may vary by location. Though they are commonly known as “Blood Sucker,” a name given by local people, but they don’t suck blood at all. They are widely available in Bangladesh; as well as many parts of the world.

He believes self-learning is the best learning so that he started learning photography from e-books, online articles, video tutorials and observing photo works .

After five months he completed his first photographic course “Advance course in Basic Photography” from PRISM Photography Institute. Recently he has intended to do an “Advanced diploma course in professional photography.” He is fond of taking photos of different aspects of human lifestyle and nature. Nature, Lifestyle, Wildlife, Architectural, Street Photography, Candid, and Portraiture are his specialty. Rahat doesn’t like to do wedding and fashion photography as a machine of easy earning money. Creating own signature in photos is Rahat’s main awareness, where he always try to put his own styles, knowledge and views.

Specially third world countries religious views, architectural structure development and social pattern of thought are subject to me. My dream is to be a photo creator who can’t run after money enormously”
