SAY CHEESE ● ISHRAT AMIN
Wedding photographers are often the MVP of weddings, snapping every precious moment of your big day and encapsulating them in a tangible form, to be cherished for the rest of your life and beyond. From a quick snap of your smile when you see your loved ones to a shot of your favorite relatives dolled up and grouped together striking a pose for the 100th picture, each moment is carefully picked, framed and given life to by these photographers. Persa Sanjana Hussain breaks down how this art stills the lived moments into memory.

Ishrat Amin Photography
How it started: I have always been very passionate towards photography. The idea of capturing things the way I see through my eyes has always fascinated me. So, I always went about taking photos of objects, sceneries and my dearest people whenever I could.However, I took it as my profession in 2010 when people started admiring my work and referring me to their friends and family for photography jobs.
Most enjoyable part about work: For me, capturing things the way I see them is my most favorite part about my job. Also my other favorite part is being able to capture one’s life’s special moments for an eternity. It’s a very exhilarating experience to be a part of someone’s life’s most important days.
Competitive Advantage: It would definitely would be my passion towards photography,careful attention to detail, and my perspective.
Looking Forward to: Excel in my passion and of course being able to provide quality in this highly saturated industry.
One Change to be made to the Industry: One thing that I want to change about the industry is prioritizing quantity over quality. This is something that both the photographers and their clients have to understand. Quality should always be first priority for both parties.
Moment closest to Heart: I’d say that it’s totally clichéd and typical, but I cannot ever get over my very first professional wedding photography event. I was so young, nervous and excited! I ended up capturing double the amount of pictures that I capture now because I wanted to utilize everything as much as I could!
