It’s
amazing how one picture can say so much. Even when there are no captions or
descriptions, you can know a lot from just a single photo, and even more from a
series of photos. The way photos and pictures can capture emotions like joy,
grief, excitement, shyness, etc., cannot simply be captured with words.
There
are many talented photographers in Pakistan who have successfully managed to
capture the true beauty and the true essence of Pakistan in their photography. Photography
is not just simply putting what’s happening around you in a photo. It’s about
the lighting, about the angle, about the situation, about capturing the
emotions, about portraying the right message, about successfully putting the
beauty, the mood and the right feelings and sometimes it’s just good luck that
they get the right photo. That happens rarely though.
It’s
amazing how these photographers manage to capture so much in just a few photos.
From fashion to poverty and, from weddings to tragic events they have covered
all.
Pakistanis
are proud of the scenic beauty in not only the northern areas of Pakistan, but
all over, and I am too, but that is not the only beauty in Pakistan. There are a
lot of other aspects that people tend to overlook. We have the people, the
culture, the stories, the traditions, the food and much more.
This
is Saeen Zahoor, a famous Pakistani Sufi musician. He has spent all his life
singing in Sufi shrines.
This
is a delicious Pakistani dish that goes by the name of Chicken Qorma. Made from
different spices, this dish has a mouthwatering aroma.
This
is a snap from a very simple, yet full of joy and happiness, engagement
ceremony. The bride or the Dulhan is showing off her precious wedding ring.
And
this on the other hand, is a photo of a glamorous mhendi, where the relatives
and friends of the couple are dancing and celebrating the event.
There
are many more pictures that I would like all Pakistanis and photography
enthusiasts to see. There is always more to beauty than you think.
