Pakistani Artists

Awais Yaqub

Here are some photos shot on charity painting competition held on 12th August as part of independence day celebrations. There were Special kids, Orphans, and kids belonging to various social classes. It was amazing experience to be within so many kids, belonging to different backgrounds i noticed a lot difference in behaviors of kids.

I also shot same show last year too.

Here ya go with minimum captions :wink

Rest of these are pro artists, the show was special for Independence day.




Check what he was making






Eastern Bride's doll. The lady who made asked what newspaper you will publish this photo. I told her i am not a guy from newspaper, but this will be posted on website (she was clueless about website) and i told her whole world can see your doll, and she was so Happy !

Awais---I must tell you that I've only been a member of this forum for a short while and your photos are always such an inspiration to me! Your work is stunning and you have a take on your subjects that I would love to someday be able to "see" in my subjects! You are truly awe-inspiring and I LOVE to see your posts!

Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!

There's some really lovely work here, Awais, particularly in your use of color. But lose the captions. The first group of photos don't say "art," or "artist." They are simply portraits of children. Which is fine, except that you said they are photos of artists. Just let us admire the photos.
