Best of 2019 | Photographs

its high time to share the photographs captured in the year 2019

During the year 2019, I have made to the less visited and explored places of Pakistan, where one find diverse ecology, rich culture, beauty of nature, exotic tradition and rituals. These places are known to be extremes in geography such as the Khirthar mountains, the white desert and the complex cities. During those visits, I was fortunate enough to collect the wisdom and photograph of the folks dwelling in these places. It gave me space to understand and share connection of human, environment and cultures.

Among 100’s of photographs, I have chosen 14 best photographs for my friends and readers.
