Photographs Magazine

PHOTOGRAPHS is an independent online magazine predominantly focusing on to unearth the best of contemporary young photographers across the globe. The magazine’s vision is to know the happening phenomena of cities and suburbs as well as villages through young lenses, sometimes through those who are considered to be experienced, and spread their works among similar-minded photo-goers. PHOTOGRAPHS ac

ts like a platform for youths, letting their photographic visions, both amateur and professional, reach to viewers. The philosophy behind PHOTOGRAPHS is to place the meaning of “photography as an art form” at a stature where it really should belong. The magazine’s interpretation tries to unfold the meaning of subtle aestheticism, truthful journalism and cryptic realism. PHOTOGRAPHS is not an accomplished project, as evolution and revolution will be the keywords in coming days. In a fast changing world, for photographers and writers, the goal here is to be at the forefront of change. PHOTOGRAPHS was born in 2013 and a brainchild of two Bangladeshi individuals– Dublin-based photographer Tamim Jamshed and Dhaka-based journalist Jamil Mahmud. Public Relations:
