About Sultan Ahmed Niloy

I am an international Award-Winning travel Photographer Sultan Ahmed Niloy. I was born in Mymensingh, but raised in Dhaka. The capital of Bangladesh. I am a passionate and dedicated photographer with 10+ years of experience, started in 2014. My primary goal as a photographer is to document life's moments as I see them, preserving them in time through my camera. I love to travel a lot and explore different lifestyles, places and countries. I love to meet new people with new cultures. Till now I have traveled in multiple countries. I want to embrace the experience that photography offers, which is to capture the beautiful and awe-inspiring moments on earth. I believe in the power of the image to express emotion and tell untold stories.

“The camera I always have hanging around my neck is like another pair of eyes, and has essentially become a part of my body. Having the camera doesn't affect how I engage with other people of the same generation. I am a part of the things that take place in each moment I capture. For me, pointing the lens at something is the same as taking screenshots of my own personal life. Every drop of rain, every smile, every quick motion, and every droplet when water is sprayed. The things I capture are nothing more than ordinary, yet they are all an important part of moments in the dazzling youthful lives of people, including myself. I continue to take photos to preserve the memories of those precious days which I have experienced.”

I have completed my graduation from East West University in Economics. Earlier my school was BAF Shaheen college, Kurmitola. And my college was Adamjee Cantonment College.

When I see any of my captured photo in online magazine, published magazine or newspaper – I sometimes stand still and grab myself full of attention and feeling weird about thinking this was captured by me? Most of my pictures are caption less, I feel blank while finding out a caption for my photo. How can I give a caption someone’s life through my picture? For photography I got ditched from my friends, classmate and even my family. When my class ends, I packed up my materials into my bag and go outside for taking pictures. And at the same time my friends do hangout in a restaurant or varsity campus. I missed those moments every time. And still, I am missing those beautiful moments. But I have some other friends like cat, fish, books and plants. I discovered that fishes eat eggs of the mosquito. It made me realize that every single living being has a purpose and they are useful. Among all kinds of flowers, I like cactus most. You know what even a cactus can grow flower. Photography to me it's about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. It's simply of matters of noticing something. You just have to care about what is around and should have concerned with humanity and human comedy.

I remember the day when I picked up my camera back in 2014, I was so elated. My camera became my companion, it shifted my mind from a fictional world to reality. Days after days, I used to carry my camera as a companion to capture the momentums of life from different places or situations. Gradually, I started to realize my passion of being a storyteller through pictures. Sometimes ambiguity of identity leaves me puzzled. I question myself am I a photographer or an artist? When I push the shutter to click a photo at that moment, I feel like I am a photographer. Like an artist I use photography as a medium to express my artistic vision through camera and lenses.
