Give us a brief introduction about yourself.
I am a self taught, first female professional studio photographer of Peshawar, NWFP (2000-2010).Currently residing and working in London as a wedding photographer. I am a warm person by nature who loves travelling, gadgets, music, cars, cinema, Bollywood movies and poetry. Believe in hard work and humbleness.
Study/professional background?
Did MSc Psychology from Peshawar University and chose photography as a profession.  Being only female photographer in the field was beneficial and a tough job at the same time.  At that time there was no institute to learn and I chose “learning by doing” method. I have done thousands of bridal and couple shoots during these years and this journey have never stopped. Currently I am loving my experience of working with best wedding photographers of London.  Member of “Society of wedding & portrait photographers”.  It feels good to have a chance to learn new skills by attending photography seminars with world’s  recognized photographer.
