Mohsin Khawar, owner and photographer at MohsinKhawar Photography has, as per his style, been involved in a number of different shoots over the past few months.Mohsin Khawar Photography has been a part of the photography business since 2009. They believe in creating a new and unique concept with every project they do, thus constantly re-inventing themselves as photographers.
At MKP whether you are a client or a model you can expect to be treated as a human rather than merely as a subject. This variation comes through clearly in the pictures that one can see in the MKP portfolio where human sentiments are highlighted through raw emotion in the eyes and expression of the model. This undisguised and sincere emotion is what makes MKP’s images stand apart from the rest and what allows them to capture important moments in people’s lives and make them memorable.
