We’ve got a cover! (click here for the full size image) After a lengthy and quite competitive selection process, the front page for “Bangladesh: The Bradt Travel Guide” has finally been chosen. Like many other aspects of the book, the images were chosen in close consultation with us, the authors.. but unfortunately our images didn’t make the cover this time.
I’m glad to announce though that the picture is from a very famous Bangladeshi photographer named Shehzad Noorani. According to a profile posted on the Internet:
As a freelance documentary photographer and a consultant for national and international aid organizations, Noorani, since starting in photography in 1987, focuses on the existence of people living at the lowest rung of the social, political and economic ladder in South Asia. He has produced numerous publications and multimedia presentations. In 1999 he won the Mother Jones International Award for Daughters of Darkness, a project on women working in the sex trade in South Asia.
Like many other documentary photographers in Bangladesh, most have made their careers covering the most heart-wrenching stories this country has to offer. Today I’m glad to use this photo of Noorani’s to promote a new, positive view of Bangladesh.
