Info

M. Asghar with his wife Taj, holding their most cherished photographs at their home. Asghar introduced me to photography. He himself learnt photography to take pictures of the love of his life, eloped with her, penniless and started a new life. During my childhood, he used to live with his wife and daughter in a tiny one-room apartment which was the happiest, the most loving and loved house I knew. He has taught photography to many youngsters like me without any fee, in order to make them financially independent in a society that is thoroughly inter-dependent, conservative and traditional. His photography career was fulfilling but financially not rewarding.
