  • March 15, 2025, Bogra, Rajshahi, Bangladesh: From above, rows of workers shelter under umbrellas while sorting millions of sun-dried chili peppers in Bogra. They separate rotten and broken peppers, earning less than USD 5 for a 10-hour shift. After a week of drying under the sun, the chilies are sorted, packaged, and sold to local markets, mainly to companies producing chili powder. (Credit Image: © Muhammad Amdad Hossain/ZUMA Press Wire)
  • November 25, 2025, Chattogram, Bangladesh: Cargo ships anchor offshore near Patenga as the sun sets over the Bay of Bengal in Chattogram.

  • February 22, 2025, Rajbari, Dhaka, Bangladesh: A farmer guides his cattle across the dry riverbed of the Jamuna River in Rajbari. The seasonal drying of the river exposes vast sandbars (chars), disrupting local livelihoods and forcing herders to travel long distances in search of water and grazing land. These shifting landscapes, shaped by monsoon floods and dry-season erosion, illustrate the fragile ecological balance in the Jamuna River basin.

  • February 22, 2025, Rajbari, Dhaka, Bangladesh: A lone boat navigates the shallow, emerald waters of the Jamuna River in Rajbari near Dhaka. These submerged sandbars highlight the challenges faced by boatmen, who must carefully maneuver through unpredictable waters. As seasonal changes alter the rivers course, communities relying on the Jamuna for transport and livelihood adapt to its ever-changing nature. (Credit Image: © Muhammad Amdad Hossain/ZUMA Press Wire)
  • February 7, 2026, Sylhet, Bangladesh: Local sellers display colorful winter vegetables cultivated in nearby fields for sale at an open-air riverside market along the banks of the Surma River in Shylet. Neatly arranged piles of pumpkins, cabbages, cauliflowers and leafy greens form vibrant patterns as traders gather, reflecting the seasonal agricultural economy and traditional river-dependent commerce of northeastern Bangladesh.

  • January 23, 2026, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Densely packed housing structures at Mohammadpur Geneva Camp, commonly known as Bihari Camp, in Dhaka. Narrow lanes and closely built brick homes dominate the settlement, where thousands of Urdu-speaking residents have lived for decades. The camp remains one of the most crowded urban communities in the capital, reflecting long-standing issues of housing density and infrastructure challenges.

Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1042 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY May 26, 2026: ‘THE CANVAS OF BENGAL’ by ZUMA Press award winning photo-journalist Muhammad Amdad Hossain: Bangladesh is a densely populated South Asian nation of over 170 million people. Its vibrant, resilient society is deeply rooted in ancient Bengali heritage. However, the country’s flat, riverine geography makes it a global epicenter for climate vulnerability, constantly grappling with monsoon floods, cyclones, and rising sea levels. Bangladesh from above reveals a breathtaking network of rivers, vibrant green deltas, and dense megacities. With two-thirds of the country resting less than 5 meters above sea level, its low-lying terrain is a dynamic tapestry of flooded rice paddies, mangrove forests, and intersecting waterways. By mid century, Bangladesh will lose 17 percent of its territory due to rising sea levels, resulting in the loss one third of the country’s agricultural land. By 2050, the World Bank predicts there may be as many as 19.9 million internal Bangladeshi climate migrants. Welcome to ‘THE CANVAS OF BENGAL’
