LIVING WITH THE FLOODS ON FLOATING HOUSES
LIVING WITH THE FLOODS ON FLOATING HOUSES
Villagers go about their daily lives despite devastating flooding after a river burst its banks. Residents aren't deterred by the chest-deep water and continue to hang out their washing, lead cattle, and fetch drinking water. These villagers in Sariakandi, on the outskirts of Bogra, Bangladesh, have been affected by flood water which comes from a nearby river and is 30ft-deep in the worst areas.

I am Sujon Adhikary, 30 years old and I live in a small village near Kushtia city, Bangladesh. I'm a self-taught photographer who likes to travel and discover new essence of life through travel & lifestyle photography. As an independent photographer, my passion is to explore & study the different aspects of human life, witness different cultures, and document the colorful & contrasting side of it. Being a photo enthusiast, I have been traveling near and far to depict interesting human stories for the last few years. I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs. Through my photographs, I want to share my views and experience with all.
I was nominated for many international awards and won awards in photographic competitions worldwide including Siena photo Awards, World Smile International, TIFA, Chromatic Awards, The Independent Photographer etc.
