Dr. Shahidul Alam, Bangladesh, Managing Director of Drik Picture library and Several times Jury of WORLD PRESS PHOTO while Inauguration his 2nd Solo Photography Exhibition, La Galerie, Banani, Dhaka in 1993 Commented for his written Message 'A faint twilight glow forms a gentle backdrop to fiery cacophony of torches spewing fumes to sky. The scarlet reflections dance on the lapping waves. A deity rises above it all, taking a last look above the flames before she sinks in the sea. Hundreds of miles away, in a swirling cityscape, streaks of city lamps dance to a different tune. Rickshaws, cars, baby Taxis, twirl at a giddy pace encircling the city's latest extravaganza, like a giant ball and stick model of some ridiculous molecule, the SAARC fountain. Villagers from afar gather round this metal spectacle, an instamatic immortalized the family in front of the city Icon. As in the stiff portraits in front of Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, they gather proof that they were there. In stark contrast, an expansive moody sky, pensive with heavy clouds, watches over a tiny figure jutting over a cliff edge, the cliff itself dark, solid and brooding echoes the sky's temperament. Back at the sea, the same blue and white, paints a different mood. Fishing nets sway gaily in the breeze. One can hear the flapping of wet cloth, the lapping of the waves, share the gay abandon. But rather quiet observation of a young man who takes us on a gentle sojourn. We are taken by the hand through places takes that he knows and loves, and meet people who trust him. Bayazid is also a writer and with a Camera added to his arsenal will surely develop into a perceptive witness of our time.'

One of the review Published in 'Weekend' The Daily Independent in its Arts section June30, 2000; on the Title ' Bayazid Akter: Lens Capturing life…Commented …Life comes in two ways, one is mobile rhapsody and the Other in still magnificence. Booth are in their own individual ways captivating. Bayazid Akter is a Photographer whose lens has taken life in both its representations. Bayazid's works are singularly distinct in the way that there Seems life in them. No, the pieces are not just inanimate objects, the scenes Capture have a message to relay. Yes they are vocal, this silent eloquence is what that makes them irresistible. In good morning Bangladesh ensemble, the photographer takes a different path by bringing in a Bangladesh that is free of jams, pollution and noise. Early morning rays pierce through the lines of palm trees; the piece is desolate but stunningly enchanting. But it's not only the early morning beauty that attracts here, there is an invisible coat tranquility that covers it and something you just can't ignore. One Rickshaw stands by a pole on which the line" May peace prevail on Earth" is written on the backside of the vehicle a woman is Seeing praying, maybe for that elusive thing called peace. Very expressive and powerful this is one of Bayazid's best works.
