Palash Khan
Photojournalist.

His passion for photography dates back to his schooldays. He used to cut-out and collect photographs from different magazines. Buying a camera was beyond his dreams. He always craved for one and dreamt about the moments he could capture with it.

After the HSC exam he joined Bangladesh Photographic Institute for a basic photography course. Even then he did not have a camera. His dreams came true when his mother offered to buy him a camera. He was over the moon. He bought a Nikon- FM2. With that he started working as a free-lancer, selling his photos to different newspapers. That was 2001.

In 2003, he joined Daily Independence as a photojournalist. At the same time, he enrolled himself in a diploma in photography. At the beginning of 2005, he joined one of the oldest newspapers of Bangladesh, Daily Shangbad. Since then, he has been working on documentaries, human rights, political and environmental issues.
