Hi, I'm Ratul Chowdhury

I am a documentary and street photographer based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. My journey began in 2015 when I joined my college photography club, later continuing with the Dhaka University Photography Society (DUPS). My involvement with the Dhaka University Central Students' Union (DUCSU) further shaped my perspective, allowing me to capture the vibrant political and cultural life of the campus.
