ABOUT Me Born : 10 August , 1971 Phirala , Faisalabad, Pakistan. Study : Bachelors in Graphic Design/Photography 1993 from National College of Arts Lahore Pakistan. Working as : Assistant Controller Creative in IT Department, Pakistan Television Corporation Islamabad. 22 years ago , I started photography. “ I like shoot and analyze people.” • Most of my photographs are with my own ideas. I have an intuitive feel for world I inhabit and I am convinced that this must be strongest when I squint through the lens. “ I have to be honest with myself first and then the picture will be good. I must feel first. Sometimes when I click the camera there is another click in my heart, and sometimes I know the picture will be horrible” • I am continuously aim to stretch myself and ambiance change. My photographs are characteristically untitled “ I don’t think a picture or a work of art needs to be categorized, this is not a T.V catalogue.” • I approached photography as an art from the beginning. We don’t have photography schools in Pakistan, specialized in teaching all kinds of photography. We don’t have museums for art photography in Pakistan and even our art museums don’t show photography artwork. Being an Art Photographer i have to work for commercial to enrich my bread & butter. I travelled throughout Pakistan for my photography . • I work as a free-lance photographer, graphic designer, Director and Teacher. I love to be free in my work to do what I am interested in. I love to learn new things always, things related to art, to life itself.
