About

Omi spent his formative years daydreaming about art, cricket, and literature under the shadow of a military dictatorship. He later moved to the United States and Canada for his university education, eventually ending up at Harvard for graduate school. Along the way, he developed a passion for researching and writing about genocide, gender equity, war theory, and liberalism. Photography became his outlet during his Ph.D. research and fieldwork.

His photography captures the delicate balance between space and human identity. Instead of replicating the dire conditions of war zones and dictatorships, Omi's work celebrates life's levity, beauty, and unpredictability in these places. He believes in the undying human spirit that refuses to wither even in the most desperate of circumstances.

In addition to his work in war zones, Omi has also ventured into the world of fashion photography, capturing ballerinas, yogis, and models from all walks of life. He has collaborated with high-end brands such as Dior, Tom Ford, and Isabel Marant.

Omi's photography has been showcased in solo exhibitions across the globe, from Berlin to Dhaka. His work has been featured in numerous publications, including BBC and Vogue Italia, and displayed in galleries from Minneapolis to Philadelphia. A retrospective of his work was shown during Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Currently, Omi is immersed in multiple projects that explore visual narratives in fashion and street photography. He is also a leading advocate for inclusivity in the fashion industry, writing extensively on liberalism, labor rights, feminism, and fashion for prominent magazines and journals.
