About Me

About me

Abdullah Saghir Ahmad

Photography is an art
It’s about finding extra-ordinary in an ordinary place

I am a self-taught storyteller from India who uses frames, films, and fiction to tell stories that make people feel something. My north star is to introduce people to hitherto unexperienced horizons of beauty. To inspire them to be more, to do more. To be the versions of themselves that they are low-key happy about on the inside. My work has been viewed millions of times on various social media platforms, magazines, online publications, film festivals, and on the cover of a book. I constantly work towards creating something that delivers a feeling.

I want my viewers to relate to my photographs through recognition of and familiarity with the locations, the situations, the emotions, and the energy so much that they wonder if they are there in the picture, looking at the scene with their own eyes.

/villages of Switzerland

/villages of Switzerland March 17, 2024 The clear blue sky is stretched in the background with small chunks of snow-white soft clouds drizzled all over. The tall mountains stand right in front of it with their summits colored in fairy dust white and their feet decorated by green trees. Oh, what can I say about the greens? Eden-green, Amazon-green, jasper-green, pea-green, sap-green, foliage-green, storybook-green, wonderland-green, and paradise-green are just a few shades of the many that the vegetation of the

/if it doesn’t hurt at all

/if it doesn’t hurt at all March 16, 2024 An artist’s journey is a dichotomous ballet of being a creator and feeling like an A-grade impostor. The highs are so high that it sends you reeling. And the pull of the impostor syndrome drags you to the dark depths of a bottomless pit. There are days when you can weave complex, kaleidoscopic works of art and then there are days when organizing your mind is a task, and stringing words

/the man and the mountain

/the man and the mountain March 15, 2024 We are bound by a common thread, both the man and the mountain. In the grand theatre of existence, the mountain stands as a silent sentinel. It embodies strength, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of growth amidst adversity, much like the human spirit. Gaze upon the crumpled forehead of the mountain. It stabs the clouds and has a world-weary aspect to it. It stretches still, reaching towards the heavens. And so too

/first

/first March 12, 2024 I have a travel recommendation as a musing today. Nestled amidst the Swiss Alps, Grindelwald First is a haven for adventurers and observers alike. Your journey begins with a ride on the iconic cable car, ascending high above the verdant valleys below. At the summit, lies a world of endless possibilities. For thrill-seekers, the First Flyer offers an exhilarating experience, soaring through the air at heart-pounding speeds. With the wind in your hair and the mountains

/everything is blue

/everything is blue March 11, 2024 The vibrant show of lively pink and purple was over. The streaks were gone and the wind in the sky was mopping up the confetti clouds that remained after the celebratory show of light and colors. There was an eerie calm given that moments ago there were all kinds of sounds of humans and birds to Earth. The only sounds were the huffing of wind and the mumbled conversations of human in the distance

/have a little patience

/have a little patience March 7, 2024 A phrase that is ubiquitous, be it while cooking a dum biriyani, waiting for the result of a test (scholastic or biological), or standing in the queue of a public office. A lot has been said about this agency of endurance. One of my favorites is a line I read in a blog somewhere on the internet, “The courage to start. The discipline to focus. The confidence to figure it out. The patience
