Whenever you talk about photography, an image of beauty, truth and innocence automatically comes in mind. Natural beauty and women are always the best options for photography, though anything attracts you, can be the objects. The purpose of photography is to communicate and store moments in time. When you take a photograph, you would have a moment that was frozen through a picture. This moment can tell someone many things. In the world of filters and instant clicks, everyone can capture photos as for passion. In social media, you may find so many examples of it.


Creativity is always needed to find out the different perspectives than the common. Professional photography demands some basic requirements such as love of nature, patience, collaborative personality and passion for photography. It is a must to have a willingness to persist through difficult situations and challenges. The more you roam around, the more you get perfect shots. For this reason, if anyone is firmly determined to continue photography professionally, he/she should have tolerance and enjoyment of outdoor conditions and all sorts of weather. Technical photography skill, networking skill and teamwork are also required. Most people now have access to a digital camera and as a result, it is reported that every day about 3 billion photos are uploaded to the internet. Despite this advancement in capturing photos, there is still a demand for the artistic vision and high quality which differs the professional photographer from the general. Whether it is for a wedding event or for business, there will always be a demand for a skilled professional who can make the moments lively. 


Photography is a good career if you have excellent skills, creative ability and technical expertise. It can be challenging and may bring you disappointment if you are not passionate about it. Good photography skills come with patience, practice and hard work. Portrait photography demands high as per hour or day. Professional photojournalists are employed to record daily events. Nowadays, Professional photography has the demand from websites and publications, magazine, newspaper to a large extent on the use of images. In today’s world, women are equally capable as men of being successful. Women are now competing in every sector of works and reaching to the highest peak of achievements. Sayeda Khanam first entered the world of professional photography in 1956 that is quite unimaginable. She got great support from her family and only this thing made her a photography trailblazer. Though she trained so many women, there has been slightly changed in women’s position in the world of professional photography till now.


According to Bangladesh’s prospect, most women have been sexually harassed, pursued or simply teased. Anywhere you see, there would be at least one woman as a victim. Though feminism has brought many changes so that women are now working competitively with men, still there is a lack of morality. In other words, feminism encouraged women, made them empowered. But the perspectives of society and culture are still in the dark. In another sector of jobs, women may have to ignore society or talks of others, but photography is completely different. Many young girls are showing interest in professional photography, but unfortunately, they have to fight against family, even their parents. Again, some of them do not think of it after marriage.
Women in Bangladesh are still lagging far behind from the rest of the world. It is a complex issue which complicated by human psychology and culture and there is no simple solution for it. Women have to learn more and explore. Like other jobs, photography should also be known to them. There should be platforms to practise photography. On the whole, they have to make spaces for their better destination.
