Zaib Alvi Photography

When a child is born in Pakistan, often families seal his or her fate, if its a boy he is going to be the breadwinner of the family when he grows up so either its business or some fancy job that he is groomed for and if its a girl she is to be a housewife who should sacrifice her dreams for the man she marries that is after she gets herself a degree (after all who wants to marry a girl who doesn't has a degree) which she mostly wouldn't use (we are proud people after all, we won't let our daughters/wives work after marriage.) But it is only a few lucky ones are that bold and courageous enough to rebel and find a life that they want to live. This is a story of a girl who choose to defy all those odds and in her search for whats right for her, she found herself behind a camera with a smile that was brighter than the north star.

Photos by Doco - Portraits with a Style

Creativity and photography are two sides of a coin, without each other they would be lost but only a few people have over the years mastered the art of blending them. Doco is from Calgary, Canada and has been clicking for the past 7 years, most of his shoots are artistic and he tries to experiment as much as possible with his work. His work is a reminder for all those who are looking to make a mark in the field of photography that its not just about realism but sometimes you have the cross the boundary of it and add an extra element to really make a story come alive.
