Of thirty-five years of my life, I have been a photographer for the last 12 years. Born, raised and educated in Karachi, Pakistan, I got into photography in 1988. Being self taught, I have learned mostly from books, magazines and libraries found locally or obtained through friends and relatives from abroad.

In the early 90's, I came across an amazing American magazine, Camera & Darkroom (previously called Darkroom Photography), which not only encouraged me to have my own little darkroom one day, but was my first exposure to Alt-Process images.

This left me wondering how in the world I was going to explore these processes in Pakistan. Allah be praised, for I slowly learned photography, moving on to B/W possessing and printing.

Now after all these years - with the help of notes saved from magazines, tech. books and the internet - I am able to print Alt images. Sadly, the magazine stopped publication in Sept. 1995.

On the whole, life has been wonderful and photography has been a complete high. Hues was my third solo exhibition, a culmination of nearly three years of work, and already I have plans to travel in search of fresh images, and to experiment with further techniques and processes.

Presently I am teaching at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, while also freelancing as a photographer. Finally, an affirmation, I love my faith, my country, and sometimes the crazy people. Can't believe you actually had the patience to read till the end. Ahem! Thank you for the web-ified visit.
