Mubah Rafi - Photography (Interview)





Nickname : Dory.

DOB : 28th oct.

Favorite dish:
Too many to count. i love food.

Give us a brief introduction about yourself?
This is always the hardest question. um, i'm artistic, overly concerned about morals and ethics, i'm awkward, i hate studying, i'm irresponsible, never break a promise, and i smile too much. i love nachos.

Study background?
currently doing A levels.

Photography as a passion or just a hobby?
A little bit of both.

How did you got into photography stuff?
i discovered the macro feature on my tiny 7.5 mega pixel slr camera when i was 14. pictures came out better than i expected and i figured i could be good at this.

Who are your inspirations?
no name really comes to mind.

What else are your hobbies except photography?
i like doodling, drawing, painting, crafts, baking, making videos, reading, singing, playing musical instruments even though i don't really know how to play anyyy. all the artsy stuff basically.

Would you like to have interns with you?
Nope, i prefer to work alone and be my own boss.

Who is the one person you would like to do or dying to do photo-shoot of?
No one in particular.

Was photography your passion?
No, not exactly a passion. i don't have many '' deep'' thoughts or feeling about photography other than that i enjoy it very much.

In which kind of Photography section do you focus/ have more fun like fashion photo-shoots, outdoor shoots or wedding photo-shoots etc.?
I don't have a focus point. i like taking pictures of practically everything that interests me. outdoors, weddings, fashion, i love it all.

You got an opportunity to do photo shoot for many magazines and known people in this glamorous industry how was your experience working with them?
Haha, no experience in that field yet.

What is important? 1. Good camera 2. Editing skills 3. Good face -- > none of the above is most important. all play their own part in creating a picture, you forgot the photographer

Let’s get a bit technical which cameras do you use? And it would be really great if you give a short review about it too?
I use the nikon d3100, i've used it for 2 years now. it's a beginner DSLR, so it isn't GREAT, but it's pretty good.

Who has been most supportive while you were becoming a Photographer mum or dad?
They're not really into my whole photography thing, really.

Any moment when you were like I am the best photographer and you are leaving photography?
Haha, yes. lots of times. but obviously you can never be the '' best''. you can be very good. but never the best. There is no best. You'd only find me leaving photography when i'm dead.

Which,when,where were the best/interesting events you have covered till now?
I don't cover events. One embarrassing and funny moment while you were on your work? well, i wasn't working, but there was a party. and i was being pulled, quite literally by two people from either side, because they wanted pictures o.o

What are the other goals you have?
To die knowing i made some difference to someones life. a good difference. and be happy. anddd earn lots and lots and looootsss on moneeey. To prove those pessimistic people in my life wrong. To succeed in ways people said i never could.

Where do you see yourself in next few years?
I see myself independent and free. 

Any message for your fans?
Well, i don't think i have any real fans just yet but to all those people who've liked my page and leave the nicest comments and messages! Thank you!And thank you to my three most awesomest friends, Minahil Khalid, Alyzeh hyder and Muntaha ishtiaq for always supporting me about the thing i love to do mostttt.
