We have been covering wedding photographers for a while now but we have a variety of photography masters in our midst, Mutahir Mahmood is one of the many who have taken their craft to new levels with out door shoots to the under water clicks he has been doing his best to capture the essence of life thru his lens for a few years now.
1.When were you born?
Hmm! I hope there's no correlation between age and photography skills Just hit the Big 3 0 !
2.when did you started to shoot?
During my college days, 2010!
3.where did you learned it from?
Mostly, YouTube. Recently graduated from Indus Valley with a PGD in Photography to take it a step higher.
what inspired you?
My dads been shooting since a very long time, my uncles been in it, most likely these two introduced me to the hobby. Otherwise, I cant think of a better creative outlet.
4.According to you whats your best shoot?
My Underwater Series Vol 1. Working on Vol II at the moment
5.Any regrets ?
Putting my heart and soul has been fruitful. But at the expense of family and social life, No!
6.Any advice for new talent?
Practice, practice and practice under different lighting conditions and then start charging!
7.With new clickers popping everyday, where do you see your industry in the next decade?
thats a great thing no? it means less barriers to entry, more competition, better product and services, win-win for the consumer. its easy to differentiate between high quality images and low quality images so its not a threat for the professionals relying on photography for their livelihood, rather keeping them on their toes. additionally, with social media (fb/twitter/instagram) all centred around images, more and more people are going to click. you just need to keep differentiating yourself and keep coming up with new stuff!
8.What makes a good photo, is it about good faces or creativity or a mixture of both?
composition, lighting, this is a very debatable question
9.Lastly what are your charges?
When the Americans were trying to get to the moon or when the Arabs were building the Burj, they never let money come in their way! While we aren't rocket scientists, and wouldn't know what to do with the billions of rupees, but we surely know how to get to the place at the right time with the right lens and the right frame of mind. The only limit is our imagination. And yours!
Our pricing really depends on the type of photography but we promise to be fair and transparent in our pricing!
