Shams Pranto (shamspranto)

Shams Pranto is described in the retained 6529 profile and 121Clicks profile as a Bangladesh-focused photographer attentive to ordinary life, solitude, and social observation. The 121Clicks source identifies Shams Nayeem Pranto; the bridge between that public name and the selected handle remains to be confirmed.

In মুক্তিযুদ্ধ - Fight for Freedom, two women lean from separate windows of a weathered teal train. Patterned and orange head coverings, partial faces, the carriage wall, and a torn poster create a layered image of transit and historical memory. The title invokes the 1971 Liberation War, while the photograph remains a contemporary collage of people and a train. Consent and poster provenance remain on the work’s rights record.
