5.00Great photoshoot with Sadiq in the new city. Although he couldn’t make our original time slot, he accommodated me for a later time. The pictures came out beautifully because he has a great eye for good settings and lighting. Book him for great shots

5.00Everyone who knows me knows I love taking photos. So I thought it would be great idea to do this photo shoot while I waited for my dental work to be completed. Sadig didn’t disappoint. He was very professional yet personable, we visited all of the listed historical sites . We got some amazing shots with his direction and eye for detail. I love them all (I can be very self critical. ) I personally preferred the 1:1 private shoot since I was a solo traveler. I could have done it all day. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend.

A Perfect Morning Photo Session with Beautiful Cat Moments

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The photographer gave clear instructions and guided me through a well-planned route, taking me to various scenic spots for photos. When I mentioned wanting to take pictures with cats, he paid close attention to the nearby cats and actively helped find opportunities for shots with them. We started early at 7 am, so there was no traffic jam and very few people around, which made the photo session smooth and enjoyable. I ended up with many beautiful photos from different locations.
