EDITOR’S NOTES

WRITER CONTRIBUTORS Areeba Amir Azeem Shah

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

IN HOUSE PHOTOGRAPHY Azeem Shah VIDEOGRAPHY Noor Alam

Ansel Adam’s ones quoted and I hope I am not quoted incorrectly that is “You need to Visualize the scene before taking it”. He was right, Photography is all about visualizing. I am not a photographer at all but I do visualize things. Sometimes I visualize them in a form of colors and most of the times without colors. Sometimes, I visualize future.

Somewhere in 2016, I had a dream of making a platform. A platform which serves everyone. Everyone from Photographer to videographer, makeup artist to models, from editing tools to the DIY projects. I dream about making a platform where the best of the best comes and pool their resources to help others. It took me and my very small team more than one year to build the foundation of that platform. Today I am proudly say that WE DID IT. Today is a big day. Big day for not only in the world of Pakistani Photography community but also worldwide. Today we are officially launching Pakistan FIRST digital photography magazine which carries everything for everyone. This is my first step towards making world finest photography related platform and in order to push it to the next level, I need your all support to make it because together we can. In the end I like to hear all of your feedback about this inaugural issue of the VUEGRAHY.
