Once she realized how much photography
meant to her she resigned from her job,
not knowing where this new journey will take her but determined to make a name
for herself in the world of art. Sundas Shahid is one of the many Pakistani’s
who are living in Texas, USA but unlike most she believes in chasing her
dreams, it wasn't long ago when she held the camera for the first time but
knowing what she wanted in her life she gave up her job to follow a career in
photography.
With her teen years about to end, Sundas is
striving hard to find herself a career in photography. Her love for photography
has been with her for all her life but it was 2014 that she finally realized
she loved taking pictures more then she loved seeing them, starting her journey
in photography by taking online tutorials she practiced her crafts on the
unsuspecting kids near the pool in her apartment complex in a matter of months
she started seeing improvement in her work. On February the 15th she
finally came to conclusion that photography is what truly defines her so
without giving her decision a second thought she quit her job. Within a month
she was working with Armale Studio which gave her the room to spread her wings,
experimenting with her craft while learning from the professionals.
Waliya Najib and Rammal Mehmud are some of
her favorites and she is one day her work will be on par with their. With a
long way to go what keeps her happy is the fact that she enjoys every moments
she captures with her lens. Doing what you love is important in life, that’s what
you would hear from her whenever you ask her for advice, she believes that a
person cannot be the best at what they do unless they love it and that takes a lot
of courage. It wasn’t easy for her to quit her job in her head were doubts,
millions of them but what kept her going was the thought that photography makes
you happy and that was enough.
A photograph is a reflection of a
photographer not an image of what lies in front of them. Sometimes even the tiniest
objects will look amazing on a paper and sometimes even the most beautiful of
things will look horrific, so it is all about how the photographer wanted it to
look not how the subject was. So when you are clicking make sure that you know
what it would look like after its done.
