Background and Career
Ismail Ferdous was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 1989.[2] His parents expected him to follow family tradition and become a banker, so he studied business and marketing at East West University in Bangladesh. However, after seeing a photography exhibit by the photography club at his university in 2009, he decided to save up money for a camera and pursue photography as a hobby.[2] By the time he graduated college, he decided to pursue photography professionally despite the wishes of his family and cultural expectations.[2] He continued to live in Dhaka as a photographer, where he documented the effects of global warming, workers' rights issues and HIV/AIDS on local communities.[3] Eventually, he began traveling to and documenting similar issues worldwide, and he eventually moved to New York City.[4]
His first ever publication was in The New Yorker, and since then, he has worked for The New York Times Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg News, MSNBC Photo, Al Jazeera America, BBC Media Action, United Nations Development Programme, Associated Press, Showtime (TV network), the World Bank, Oxfam, and Ocean Conservancy.[4]
He is currently a contributor to The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic Magazine, Gero Germany, Le Monde, Stern (magazine), The Washington Post, MSNBC Photo, BBC Media Action, Al Jazeera America, Redux Pictures, and ABC Australia.[4]
