A lot of photographers don’t stop at just taking pictures of beautiful sunsets or pretty models. Some of them manage to help other people: for instance, GMB Akash from Bangladesh. The man spends his money on helping children from poor families attend school and get education. Then he imprints in how they change in his works, showing how such a big life turn has influenced his fosterlings.
