About Gulraiz Ghouri

Gulraiz Ghouri: A Versatile Genius in the Contemporary Art of Creative Photography in Pakistan

Gulraiz Ghouri ----- a name, unique in its own-self; an artist, articulate in his own art; a photographer, perfect in his own technique. He has transcended the orthodox photographic subjects and is focusing on the scenic beauty of Pakistan in general and landscape of Northern Areas in particular.
Aesthetic use of light, technical skills, fertile imagination and artistic perception are the prerequisites for the creation of immortal image. Gulraiz exploits all the basic principles of art – proportion, rhythm, balance, contrast, light and lively tones of colours – in his photography. “Creative Photography demands the sort of talent that was once used only in painting and writing,” says Gulraiz. A good image is the candid reflection of Photographer’s inner-self. Gulraiz always uses photography to express himself. We can have the taste of painting out of his living photographs.
