I’m Akib.
Photographer and filmmaker from Dhaka. I shoot weddings and fashion the way a documentary is made: watch closely, wait, and let the story tell itself.
Ranked #1 in Bangladesh and Dhaka on ProWed Award, and named Top Wedding Photographer in Bangladesh 2021.
When I’m not at a wedding, I’m usually on the road with a camera. A documentary project and a travel film are taking shape. More on those soon.

“I wait for the moment, then I get out of the way.”
The frames worth keeping are the ones nobody arranged: a father’s hand on a shoulder, a bride laughing with her mouth open, a grandmother crying in the second row.
