A Bangladeshi photographer in Australia, telling stories of weddings, everyday life and the street.
For over 15 years I have photographed people as they are: at weddings, on the street and on the road. Every frame is built on a simple promise, to capture life exactly as it feels.
With over 15 years behind the lens, S M Imran Hassan has built a career defined by emotion, authenticity and visual storytelling.
Best known as the founder and driving force behind Purple Bird Photography in Bangladesh, Imran turned a passion for documenting raw, unscripted moments into one of the region’s most trusted names in wedding photography.
After years of celebrated work in Bangladesh, Purple Bird has expanded to Australia. As Purple Bird Australia, Imran leads a team of fellow Bangladeshi photographers, bringing the same storytelling to Sydney and Adelaide, from the grand scale of modern celebrations to the quiet intimacy of traditional ceremonies.
Beyond the wedding aisle, Imran’s work is grounded in street photography. His eye for candid human moments and urban geometry has earned him accolades in Bangladesh and internationally. That street-born instinct, to anticipate the fleeting, honest second before it passes, is what sets his wedding and portrait work apart.
