The best shots by Pakistani photographers in 2016 will give you hope for the new year
2016 has been a year like no other. We were blown away by the breathtaking pictures we have seen day in and day out from our amazing followers on Instagram.
In the last week of the year, we asked our followers to send their top shot along with the reason why they chose it; their words provide the captions that accompany their photos below.
'Sufi musician' by @rollingstone16:
"Taking a walk near Badshahi Masjid, on the food street I saw this artist singing a sufi number I can't recall but I totally found it mesmerizing. I kept thinking of so many artists that do not get exposure and they are just left to entertain people on the streets."
'Karachi's downtown' by @mystapaki:
"I chose this particular image of mine as my top shot for the entire year because through this particular image I was able to capture the feel (sounds, smells and general chaos) of this particular area deep in Karachi's downtown area. This alleyway is a microcosmic representation of the day to day hustle bustle one experiences in Karachi where multiple parallel worlds coexist with one another simultaneously. The light coming from a skylight in the alley adds an extra amount of oomph to my picture."
'A light from heaven' by @farooqsuhail:
"This shot was taken on our way to Rama valley Astore. I have not done anything special to take that shot, I just got lucky that I witnessed the most beautiful moment"
'Rubab player' by @atiqajabeen:
"Children are a symbol of hope, for me they are the game changers .Choosing this picture was for the same reason. Just a beginner but so much talented. When children start learning at an early age they are moving towards excellence. Whether it’s sports, art or any other field. Set them free and see how they rise."
'Calm' by @fakharry:
"Some of the pictures that made in my favourites from 2016 includes this one. It was captured at Chenab River on a frozen evening filled with utter calmness. I stepped into the cold water with my cousins holding me. I have never seen things so silent. It felt like a storm had passed."
'Magical Biafo Glacier' by @sheraliphotography:
"It might look like an ordinary scene in the photo to others but for me it was a magical scene up there and I can still feel that magical view when I look at this photo. This picture was taken during Snow Lake trek at Biafo glacier earlier in July."
