In his “Love Studio”, photographer Samsul Alam Helal offers a space for people to live out their wildest dreams.⁠
⁠
“The studio was a space for people to do things they wouldn’t do outside the studio," says Dhaka-based @samsulalamhelal_. What people couldn’t do outside, they did in the studio. There’s a photo of a woman riding a motorbike with her boyfriend sitting in the back. In Bangladesh, that’s not possible." ⁠
⁠
Helal says his technicolor photos capture the dreams stifled by people who move to the city from small villages. Faced with the monotony of factory work, the desire to see a village goat just one more time is understandable—as is the fantasy of riding away from it all on a motorbike. ⁠
⁠
“Most people migrate to Dhaka from the villages. They come to Dhaka with big dreams,” explains Helal. “But from my observations, that doesn’t happen. Dhaka is like a trap for these people. They can’t even go back to the villages because they sold their land.”⁠
