Early life and education
Rashid was born in Gazipur, Bangladesh, in 1979, and grew up there as the rural area urbanized and industrialized. He completed secondary school and a Bachelor's in Business Administration there. His middle class parents wanted him to get a corporate job, so he moved to Dhaka, earned a Master of Business Administration and started an internship with a financial aid company. His passion, however, was for photography. He quit his job and in 2007 enrolled at Pathshala, a school of photography, for a two-year course of study.
He completed a post Graduation Diploma in Photojournalism through a scholarship program of World Press Photo at the Konrad Adenauer Asian Center for Journalism (ACFJ) at Ateneo De Manila University in the Philippines.
Career
For four years Rashid worked as a photographer at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University. In 2014, he co-founded Absurd Photos, a co-operative photo agency in Dhaka. He is represented by American agency Zuma Press.
His work has been included in international newspapers, magazines and websites: Dodho Magazine, Burn Magazine, Beautiful/Decay, Forbes Magazine, The Guardian, LensCulture, The Wall Street Journal, Nepal earthquake, Mirror News, People and Planet, Press Blue, RVA, The Huffington Post, and The Eye of Photography.
