Give us a brief introduction about yourself.
I am a businessman by profession and a photographer by choice. I never want to carry photography as my profession. It was just a hobby for me and still a hobby. Whatever field I pick I make sure I do the best there. Whether its studies,business or photography. I topped in my batch , I broke sale records in my industry when I joined and I stand out when I jumped into photography.
Study background?
Graduated in BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Enginering from University of Hertfordshire,UK
Photography as a passion or just a hobby?
Photography was my passion and now its just a hobby.
How did you got into photography stuff?
I loved the photography of my cousin. She is an art student and when she graduated, she started putting her work on facebook and I got really impressed. That was 2.5 years back and from there I made my mind to get into photography field as a hobbyist.
Who are your inspirations?
Sana Nayab, Irfan Ahson, Arslan Asad

Would you like to have interns with you?
My friends are my interns and yes I would like to have them more of them too.

In which kind of Photography section do you focus/ have more fun like fashion photo-shoots, outdoor shoots or wedding photo-shoots etc.?
Outdoor Shoots & Concerts/Parties.
You got an opportunity to do photo shoot for many magazines and known models around town how was your experience?
Learnt a lot about this field and it was an amazing experience.
What is important
1. Good camera
2. Editing skills
3. Good face
Good Camera as well as Editing Skills. And good face is just a plus point ;)
Let’s get a bit technical which cameras do you use?And it would be really great if you give a short review about it too?
Canon 60D. After having this I don't feel like switching to any other brand or any other model. It's a complete package.
If you got a chance to collaborate with Maansal studios, Lolz studios,Naked tyrants or any production house which production house would you choose to work with?
I have worked with many and still working with couple of studios. If I would ever love to work with anyone its Shahbaz Shigri (InCahoots Films). I do believe in collaboration if anyone of the above or around the twin cities want to collaborate I am more than happy to go for it.
Any tip for new photographers?
Photography is not a rocket science but you should know the basic rules and then it's just a click of a button. Just be yourself and don't hesitate to ask others if you don't know.
What do you think is there any scope for photography in Pakistan?
Few days back it seemed like photography is the only field left which has the scope because every single person is jumping into it. :) But now those who have the quality work can make it to the top.
Who has been most supportive while you were becoming a Photographer mum or dad?
Both were against my photography and are still against it because the business I run gets a little affected.
Funniest moment ever at a photoshoot?
Bilal Khan. He could not stay still and his mouth was always open.
Any person you would like to say thank to?
Sana Nayab & Afshan Abbasi
Any moment when you were like I am the best photographer and you are leaving photography?
I have organized the largest photowalk of Pakistan. And when I did all the major shoots in and around the twin cities I felt like I am the best photographer but still there are many out there who doing far better and I am not even close to them i.e. Mobeen Ansari
And when I came back from HAJJ I felt like to quit photography completely.
Which was the best event you have covered till now?
Event by Project Blitz (Vika Jigulina Concert)
Event by Miradore Production (Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Concert) Event by 3AM Entertainment (Bilal Khan Concert) And a couple of underground parties.
Any embarrassing and funny moment while you were on your work?
I can't remember any.
What are the other goals you have?
I just want to focus on my business and to expand it. And also I am looking forward to Canada for my masters degree.
Where do you see yourself in next few years?
Will be doing photography in Canada in sometime.
Any message for your fans?
Just stay tuned. I am organizing many events like photo walks and photo contests.
