Not your average wedding photographer, Abdul Mutlib has a taste for architecture photography, lets talk with him and find out who he really is and how he sees himself as a photographer

Q. How old are you?
A. Just a few months shy of 23

Q. How long ago did you started your journey as a photographer?
A. I  have been shooting all my life but i started doing it professionally in 2007 at that time i used a digicam and last year i came out of the box and got myself a dslr.

Q. Have you taken up any courses or are you one of the self taught ones too?
A. Well I wont call myself amongst the ones who were self taught, to be honest i dont know if i can call YOUTUBE my teacher but thats where i learned from. Other sites like google helped me understand the equipment and then there were these amazing photographers who taught me by sharing there work on the internet, some were extremely helpful and shared data and tips with me when i messaged them.

Q. Any regrets?
A. Yes many but i don't let any of them hold me back. The biggest would be the family opposition i faced when i wanted to join art school the saddest part is i lost. But having said that i don't really have time to sit and weep i try my best to move ahead and let the past be past.

Q. Any suggestions for others?
A. Always follow your dreams, chase them into the unknown and beyond. Life is worth nothing if you cant do what you want and know it in your head that its never too late to try.
