The first Bangladesh Inter University Photography Exhibition (BIUPE-2013), organised by the American International University Bangladesh Photographic Society (AIUBPC) has begun from November 14 at the Dhaka Art Centre. The exhibition will continue till November 18.
It showcased the works of amateur photographers of fifty public and private universities of Bangladesh. A total of 81 selective photographs from 2275 photographs and total number of 262 participants have participated in the exhibition in 9 categories.
The exhibition is an initiative of AIUB Photography Club to promote interest in photography among the young generation. The oraganisers hope to encourage the young talented photographers of their own university as well as other universities of Bangladesh to use their creative skills, share their knowledge and participate in a technical discussion.
In the Architecture category, Fatima Rasul Munira from East West University captured a black and white photograph which is titled Future, with Unknown Destiny!!!, shows the practical life of human desires. The photograph got the second position in this category.
Most of the photographs reflected their armaturish skills; however, their eye of photography and concern has been praise worthy. The subjects of the photos vary from unusual portraits, landscapes, lifestyles, wild life to conceptual. It is a very versatile show that offers a wide range of different photographs for onlookers to appreciate.
Judges of the photography exhibition were Andrew Biraj (Photojournalist, Reuters), Mishuk Ashraful Awal (Faculty of Photography at Pathshala South Asia Media Academy) and Kudrat E Khoda (Litu) (Conservation Photographer).
The exhibition will open from 3pm to 8pm until November 18 and it’s open to all. A documentary movie on photography is scheduled to be screened today.
