Danial Shah's photostream
|
Hi, this is Danial Shah. I am a travel and landscape photographer based in Pakistan. I always wanted to experience real travel, wanted to know how a nomad experiences real adventures throughout his journey all alone and what hurdles does he face during his expeditions.
I was conferred with a trophy in Photography twice by Government of Sindh, Pakistan in year 2009 and 2010. Following that, I was also awarded with “Nishan-e-Azm” by Azm-e-Alishan in recognition of my contribution to the nation.
Since I am a nature lover so thrive for experiencing nature made me packed and I left for the Northern Areas of Pakistan, currently known as Gilgit-Baltistan. The place which is famous for its highest peaks in the world. I learnt how I can survive living alone, spending nights with no electricity, phone, mobile and outer world. Only mountains, snow peaks, bright shiny stars and the rivers.
Spending a month there in roof of the world made me realize how beautiful Pakistan is! Not only north, but landscapes of Balochistan, Hospitality of Pathans in Khyber, Green Farm Fields in Punjab, The Sufis shrines of Sindh, lush green valleys in Kashmir and a lot more. Its all Pakistan.
This Blog of mine is dedicated to only one thing : To portray the real beautiful image of Pakistan through my travels and photography. It shows that I am not unique, but it’s everyone out there who can make it.
So go on, spend a night under the roof of bright shiny stars in Cholistan, experience summer snow fall in Gilgit-Baltistan, listen to the beautiful sufi Qalams of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai at BhitShah, Sindh, check out farmers leaving for farm fields before sunrise in Punjab, experience mouth watering food in Balochistan. Simply go on and Explore Pakistan, its not just me but everyone of you out there who can make it.
I am always available for any kind of help you need in terms of traveling or photography.

"We tend to make impressions about people whom we have not met before but know them through their poetry , Art, Books ,work or photography,etc. This impression may totally differ from what the real person is. This is what happened to me in case of Danial.
I recently met Danial when he was on his recent visit to Quetta. I admit that I had a mental image of Danial being a very mature person having lots and lots of experience and knowledge which he always portrays throughs his photography but I was amazed to see a young ,college sophomore at my doorsteps. I at once asked him in disbelief "are you Danial" (guessing that he was Danial's 20 years younger brother). Yes, that young boy with quite manly looks was Danial himself. Well I ought not to figure out my flickr friends through their photographs.
Anyways , Danial go on, keep posting your latest pics ( I want to see what you do with your new gun "Sony Alpha 300").
Lots of love for this young man."7th October, 2008

"When Danial commented on my Pakistan photostream set, it gives me a chance to view his photostream. I was very amazed on the photos that have been captured by Danial. Mostly on Pakistan, but they show all the off the beaten track places. Danial photos makes me want to come back and live in Pakistan again.
Danial also potray the real life of Pakistan through his artistic capture. As much as I love all the photos that have been capture by Danial, I love him as one of my good flickr friends.
For Danial, please keep up your great work."18th September, 2008
