Damsel in Distress ::: by ::: Naser Imran Hossain

This here is "Amina", the 'pro-modern' Damsel in Distress. She was a little camera shy, must've been all those years of living in self denial, constantly being reminded that she was born a 'Girl',and in a patriarchal community she is no better than a 2nd class citizen. Amina earns 1.5 ~ 6 taka (0.085 USD) each day, working as a 'firewood bearer' who goes to and fro along the banks of the "Kaptai Lake" over a distance stretching one and a half mile, countless times, everyday. Despite all the difficulties growing up, 'Amina' retains a strange, stark beauty. A farcical gaze that tears through your very soul. A look that screams of hardship, gender discrimination,the failures of institutions like "UNICEF" & of a fake prerogative that calls itself "Nari Odhikar Aine"(Law of Women Rights).

Location: Kaptai Lake, Rangamati, Ctg Hill Tracts, Chittagong, Bangladesh
Gear: Nikon D40 with the kit lens (18-55 mm DX)

About Naser Imran Hossain

Hi, I'm Naser I Hossain. My friends (and foes alike) call me 'Atunu'. I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering in Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I love to blog, listen to jazz, blues, classic rock, design websites, watch noir comedies and offcourse 'Take Photographs'...loads and loads of them'. Bokehs, macros and street photography create my kinda vibe. I'm also into b&w portraiture, if the subject fits my motif that is :D I'm strictly a Nikonian by birth. I love my Nikons like I love my music, soothing to use and grasp.
