By harnessing the inherent energy and emotional potency of red, this project seeks to awaken a heightened awareness and appreciation for the profound impact color can have on our perception of the world, and to inspire a renewed sense of curiosity and introspection in the viewers' own experiences and interpretations of this captivating hue.

Who’s behind the lens?

Describe yourself as a photographer and where you are based

It's a great feeling that my work is appreciated. I am Md. Enamul Kabir from Bangladesh. I was born in the district of Narail, then grew up in a town called Kotchandpur, Jhinadah. It's a small but beautiful town. Now I live and work in the capital city: Dhaka. I wish I leave my job and travel around the world. But you will not get everything that you wish for in one life.
I believe it is very important to become a good human being rather than attaining greatness as a photographer.

Your favorite camera and lens

I have no favorite camera, but I love my first DSLR Canon 550D. I love wide lenses, as I always use crop body my favorite lens is 18mm.

The last place you shot

Dhaka Dockyard, Bangladesh

Your favorite moment of the day to shoot

Early morning though I am a very lazy person.

Your favorite photographers and where you get inspired.

Imtiaz Alam Beg, the master of music photography in Bangladesh, is my first and foremost inspiration, if I did not meet this wonderful person, I'd never have found the pleasure and lifestyle that is photography.
Then, there are the master photographers from around the world: Trent Parke, Elliott Erwitt, William Klein, Bruce Gilden, Masahisa Fukase, Raghu Ray, Raghubir Singh - just to name a few. It is an 'experience' to view their works.
