Awarded by Photographic Society of Pakistan & SIGMA Pakistan

Photography has always been more than a hobby for me — it’s the way I observe life, freeze emotions, and tell stories through light. And on 31 December 2023, something truly special happened at the Lahore Fort that added a memorable milestone to my photography journey.

A Proud Achievement to End 2023 – Top 20 Images of 2023

As the sun dipped behind the historic walls of the Lahore Fort, I had the privilege of capturing the last sunset of 2023 — a moment that symbolized both closure and new beginnings.

To my great honor, this image was selected among the Top 20 Best Images by the Photographic Society of Pakistan, in association with SIGMA Pakistan.

Receiving the certificate among fellow passionate photographers felt incredibly inspiring. It was a reminder that persistence, creativity, and a little bit of magic in the sky can come together beautifully.
