A Canadian Pakistani, Rameesha is a teenager with dreams as big as the sky, her passion for creativity has led her in the field of photography. Most girls spend their time with dolls growing up but she was lucky enough to have spent it with a camera, at 4 she had her first camera. Over time she has not only improved her skill but crossed the line from a hobbyist to a professional.
Q. When did you started to shoot?
A. I started photography when I was 4. It started from disposable cameras. Then those old cameras in which you'd go to any nearby shop and give the films to get the pictures printed. Then I got my camcorder at the age of 7. By the time I was 10 or 11, I had my own digital camera which I took in every family and friend gathering. At 12 I started using phone cameras as well. Photography has always fascinated me. It was on my sweet sixteenth when I got my DSLR. That's when I started properly. So if you ask me when exactly I started from, I won't be able to tell you. Hahah.
Q. Where did you learned it from? what inspired you?
A. No one taught me. I learned it myself. I was always a curious child and technology always appealed to me. I always want the latest gadgets. It's weird though because I'm a bookworm as well, some people think that bookworms aren't big fans of technology but that's not true. Whenever I get a new camera, I'd literally throw away the manual in some corner and start experimenting on my own. I never watch YouTube tutorials on how to use the camera but I spend time on it learning about softwares.
Q. According to you what is your best shoot?
A. The best is still yet to come
Q. Any regrets?
A. None at all, I live without regrets. Regret just eats a person from within and being a lover of life I would never let that happen.
Q. Any advice for new talent?
A. For new talent, I believe one should know their camera before they publicize themselves. I see people who open pages the moment they get a DSLR that actually annoys the hell out of me. Learning how to use the camera is very important, using every mode, adjusting the settings according to the lighting, knowing the terms aperture, shutter speed, manual mode and focal length. Most new photographers and some old ones don't even know what DSLR stands for. When I first got my DSLR, someone asked me the question..what does DSLR stand for? Though I had looked it up earlier, I forgot, it was so embarrassing for me. Since that day i have memorized the term and its meaning it stands for digital single-lens reflex. Once you decide to be photographer spend time knowing how to use your camera and when you are confident that you have covered all basics only then launch yourself.
Q. With new clickers popping everyday, where do you see your industry in the next decade?
A. Photography is a booming industry, it is growing rapidly. People love their events to be photographed, they want individual photoshoots and event shoots. Ever since the advent of the camera people have spent hours trying to preserve the most precious of their moments. With advancement in tech the cost of the camera is going down every minute which has led a lot of individuals who seek fame to this profession. Some individuals are extremely talented and it's really fun going to photography pages and discovering talents, getting ideas.
But I absolutely hate those who open a page not because they like photography and are good at it but because they have a DSLR and the pictures turn out good automatically. Having seeing that a lot lately I fear that photography as an art will lose its worth if this trend does not end
Q. What makes a good photo, is it about good faces or creativity or a mixture of both?
A. What do you mean by good faces? Everyone is beautiful in their own accord. It's about both, faces and creativity. To be honest, without creativity you can't do photography, you just can't. Creative is what you need to be whether it's in the post processing i.e when you're editing on Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom. You need to have that spark in you that helps you see thru an idea adding props while photoshoots makes them more fun and helps creative an image that is worth looking at.
