Men from the sburbs, mostly jobless, ambit that place and narrate folk ballads to earn some money and praise from the listeners.

Origins of the fort go as far back as antiquity, however, the existing base structure was built during the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar (1556–1605), and was regularly upgraded by subsequent rulers, having thirteen gates in all.[1] Thus the fort manifests the rich traditions of Mughal architecture.[2] Some of the famous sites inside the fort include: Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, Naulakha pavilion, and Moti Masjid. In 1981, the fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Shalimar Gardens (Lahore).
I’ve been a Lahore professional photographer for well over a decade, shooting hundreds of weddings of all faiths and cultures across the Lahore and overseas. My reportage style has developed into a highly distinct form of honest and authentic coverage. I began my photographic career as a photographer’s assistant in the wedding and advertising industries, where I truly learnt the business of photography. My influences come in many forms but in terms of photographers who inspire me…

Built in the year 1864 under the patronage of Queen Victoria, the old Tollinton Market was originally constructed for the purpose of holding the internationally acclaimed Punjab Industrial Exhibition. The success of the exhibition encouraged the British government towards making the market a permanent site for exhibitions. However in the year 1894, the collections displayed were shifted elsewhere and the market was commercialized. Eventually over the years it transformed into one of the busiest commercial centres located in old Lahore where everything from food items to pets was sold.
