Born and lived all my life in Karachi, Pakistan, by profession a web designer, photography is a charm and passion for me. An exhilarating experience going through what it takes, capturing moments and expressions, presenting perspectives that I see

Like many things Art and Beauty is subjective, as they say, and so I believe. The art of expressions and beauty of emotions intrigues me. Scenic beauty mesmerizes me. Nature attracts me. I like to present our rich culture and beautiful heritage out to the world. To showcase the life as we live, but not the one that’s presented by the media and perceived by people. There’s a lot more to show and bring out that’s beautiful and interesting in this land. I’ve yet to narrow down myself but I’m not restricted towards a certain subject as yet.

Feel free to comment, suggest, critique or fav my photos =)

Paras A Allana [without a camera now] says:

"Fursid as a person is a friendly soul. As a photographer, a curious and hardworking one. As a criticiser, he is pretty good. As marketer, he is even better. Sometimes he is such a nurturer and helper and sometimes he has a kid's attitude. But all of that comes with the package of what FurSid is.

ohh and he has some great processing skills!"

Ittiqa Abbas says:

"Fursid is one of the few photographers who amaze me with their work. Every single photo of his exceeds in quality with the previous one. He is not afraid to break the rules and experiment and thats how every photo of his surprises me.
He def. has the eye to look at things differently, his post processing is simply superb and it is so hard for anyone to confine him to a single style.
I am dead sure that if any one anongst my group will reach the heights of professional photography it would be him. I wish him all the success in his future."

Heart of Aries ~ says:

"Well what can I say...Fursid is one of the most humble and down to earth people you'll find these days..yet he's precise in his work and I've hardly seen him err.....great company anytime and a happy go lucky kinda guy...ok enough about him now his work..
though I don't consider myself anywhere near a position where I can comment on other's work , I know that he has the eye to 'pick out' the photo from an available scene.....his compositions are superb and his post processing is amazing...absolutely amazing. It goes without saying that he's going to be a great professional photographer in the near future...I'm sure of that and wish him best of luck."
