SHOWCASE – Bangladesh Stories
Bangladesh is a unique destination rich in experiences of raw, budget-friendly adventures.
It is Ibrahim’s homeland, where I’ve met the most hospitable people: family and friends. It is a moderate democratic Muslim country with Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian faiths rich in community and traditions.
It is a unique photographer dream where an adventure awaits at every corner and has yet to be spoiled by international tourism.
