On a rainy evening in Jalalabad Cantonment, young Bangladeshi photographer Oviul Maruf turned a fleeting, everyday moment into a work of visual poetry. Returning from the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) after his observation was over, he found himself amidst heavy rain, cold winds, and the soft, golden glow of countless streetlights shimmering through the downpour.
Where most people would simply rush home, Maruf saw a story waiting to be told. With nothing but his phone in hand, he froze the scene into an image that now speaks volumes — a frame where light meets rain, solitude meets serenity, and the ordinary turns cinematic.
The shot quickly caught attention across photography platforms, praised for its play of mood and minimalism. Critics highlighted the way Maruf captured the hushed music of raindrops and the warmth of light in a cold, stormy night.
As one reviewer aptly wrote, "This image isn’t just about rain or lights. It’s about that quiet moment when nature, emotion, and art meet in perfect harmony."
With this feature, Oviul Maruf continues to carve his space in the photography world — not through grand subjects, but through his ability to find beauty in fleeting moments that many overlook.
