Anastasia Photo presents G.M.B. Akash in his first exhibition at the gallery. G.M.B.Akash has received more than 60 international awards and his work has been featured in over 50major international publications including: National Geographic, The Sunday Times, The Economist,and The Guardian. In 2002, Akash became the first Bangladeshi to be selected for the World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass in the Netherlands. In 2006, he was awarded a World Press Photo Award, the same year he published his first book, ‘First Light.’
His current project, Survivors, spans a 10-year period. It stretches across Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Pakistan, and Bhutan. It documents, even in the most trying circumstances,the resilience of the human spirit. Anastasia Photo specializes in Documentary Photography and Photojournalism. The gallery also serves as a center for discussion and portfolio review. To connect these photographic images and the events they depict, Anastasia Photo endows each exhibition with a related, on site, philanthropic organization. For this exhibition, we have chosen Free the Slaves, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending slavery worldwide.
