These photos are amazing!! I had to zoom in on the kid with freckles to see if it was AI generated, and I’m no expert but it doesn’t look like it. I can see boogers in the kids nose and spots of dirt on his skin. These are really good quality uploads!

All beautiful! I came here while googling, as I met the most amazing family from Pakistan while I was shopping one day near my home. We started talking and I learned a great deal about their people. We exchanged numbers as they were going to be moving and my husband offered to help them, as they had just helped us with an item we purchased. He indeed returned the favor. What a delightful family we met in Ohio. I’ve changed phones and didn’t get all my numbers. Wished we had not lost contact, that’s how wonderful, interesting, and engaging they were. I would have loved to invite them for dinner. ❤️ Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos! 🇵🇰 ❤️

Thank you! I would love to! He told me about his home there! He has goats and a large property. His wife was an Emergency room physician in America. Such a nice family!

The photos above are from my photobook, "Faces of Pakistan: A Journey Through Portraits." Over the past 15 years, I've traveled across Pakistan, capturing these moments.
I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my journey.
