Biography

My first experience was at the age of 13 when I joined a local photographer's shop and learned to process black n' white films in the dark room. It was my first taste that stuck like honey in a bee's nest. I was still in school and whatever time I had I knew I wanted to learn the trait of film-making, more and more. As my confidence increased, I tried and later became associated with local advertising agencies covering local fashion, and indulging in commercial and product photography assignments. It was at a later stage that I stepped into the world of photojournalism. With time and experience I managed to find assignments and work for local and international newspapers, magazines, NGO’s and stock agencies around the world. My photography covers a diverse range of issues including international politics, human rights, socio political issues and environmental works. At the moment I am closely part of Bloomberg News, the top-rated news company in the world. My work has been shown in a group exhibition ``Where Three Dreams Cross: 150 Years of Photography from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh'' and this was showcased at the Whitechapel Gallery London in 2010. Some of the organizations I have worked for and publications where my work has been published are listed below: Publications / Assignments: -The New York Times -TIME -Forbes Magazine -BBC -Bloomberg Market Magazine -Bloomberg Businessweek -Globalpost -The National UAE -Helsingin Sanomat (Finland) -The Star (Toronto Canada) -The Boston Globe NGOs specific Assignments: -WWF-UK -WaterAid-UK -ActionAid -UK -Oxfam GB -Food and Agriculture Organization for United Nation (FAO) -International Organization For Migration (IOM)
