I started my career as a miniature artist and sculptor, later specialize in photography and work as a fashion photographer in London for 3 years for an international fashion magazine. after that I switch and open a studio in partnership which leads to my own studio here in Pakistan. I am working full time as an exhibiting artist, product & fashion photographer and web designer. for further details you can google my name to see my miniature and photography work. I teach techniques and short cuts to finish the job so the students are not boud by time and if they feel that only 1 month or few classes are enough for them, still they can join me for that as well. My goal is to fix the students problem in their given time.
