Striking the accord between vintage vogue imagery and avant-garde wedding photography, Zahir captures an elegance like no other. With his penchant for the glamour of a bygone era, Zahir brings what can only be seen as a truly unique take on capturing this everlasting tradition.

Likes:

1. Making funny faces in the mirror. Doing this helps me remember not to take myself too seriously. You’re still doing well if you can make yourself laugh every now and then.

2. Camping. Being out in the wild helps you to think only about what’s really important.

3. The beach at sunrise and sunset.

Recommended places:
