Shehab is not taking snaps of birds for long--a period of just 8 years is indeed not a long career. But his immense attraction for the birds, their characteristics and beauty has driven him from place to place--from city to suburb to jungles, in order to discover hundreds of species of birds inhabiting in the country. And with that perseverance, Shehab has so far captured through his lens about 300 species of birds in various innovative frames. Often it has taken Shehab into waiting for endless houss in order to take one snap of bird.

Eminent artist Hashem Khan finds even qualities of painting in many of Shehab's photos. According to him, maintaining perfect resemblance and balance with the natural settings, Shehab can artistically handle the light and shade and thus creates a world of artistic presentation of the birds. Moreover, Shehab always tries to create artistic texture on the ground that composes the effective backdrop for his subjects. Despite all these improvisations, however, he seldom fails to retain the characteristic features of the birds.

Living a life with the birds, Shehab is now an adept bird specialist. He knows now the food habits, inhabiting places, colours and sounds of most of the birds found in Bangladesh. Through his photographs, he takes us into an intimate world of birds, where one comes across the stories of love and music, life and failures of the birds.

Veteran photographer Dr. Ansaruddin Ahmad and artist Hashem Khan will attend the inauguration ceremony of Shehab's exhibition. Titled Into the Bird's World, the display is open to all from 12 pm to 8 pm everyday.
