Abdul Goni
Chief PhotojournalistThe Daily IttefaqDhaka
Abdul Goni photographs the delta and the people the headlines forget — char dwellers, migrant workers, a river dying of dye. Born on a river char in Shariatpur, he has spent his career close to the water, filing for the wire agencies and the world's mastheads from the frontlines, the festivals and the floodplains of Bangladesh.
