Rakeeb / Behind the fables06 / The person behind the lensA storyteller,
A storyteller,
before anything.
I'm Rakeeb. I make films and photographs about the things that make us feel something.
From Dhaka to London, the camera has been my way of paying attention. To the beauty in the everyday. To people. To the stories we almost walk past.
Failed Fables brings that same way of seeing to personal stories, brands and campaigns. Thoughtful work, made with a human point of view.
A little more of my worldRakeeb.
Let's make
something that stays.
