INSPIRING MILLIONS: MOBEEN ANSARI – YOUNG PAKISTANI BREATHTAKING PHOTOGRAPHER

YOUNG PAKISTANI INSPIRING MILLIONS

Mobeen Ansari is a painter, a sculptor, photojournalist, printmaker,

and storyteller from Islamabad, Pakistan.

He has graduated from the National College of Arts with the major in Painting.

At three weeks of age, he had a severe meningitis attack due

to which he lost most of his hearing and smell.

Somehow this strengthened his visual sense and a keen eye for observation.

Over the years it led to his love for painting and then photography

He travels all over Pakistan to capture ‘uncharted territories’,

beautiful heritage as well as inspirational stories.

Mobeen has worked with publications like Newsweek, Timeline, The Friday Times and a few others.

He launched his first book, with the name Dharkan: the Heartbeat of a Nation last year,

which includes portraits and stories of both iconic and very ordinary people.

The book highlights the visible and unsung heroes of Pakistan,

who have shaped it and continue to work for its betterment

He has launched another book with the title White in the Flag on the 70th birthday of Pakistan.

The book focuses on religious minorities. Mobeen has explored the diversity,

depth, and vibrancy of its religions, cultures, and subcultures in his book.

Hello, Magazine selected him as one of Pakistan’s Hot 100 talents.

His biggest dream is to capture the Earth and other wonders from outer space as he is greatly fascinated by nature.

“I don’t live in the past, I don’t plan for the future. I live in the now and now has been an awesome journey.” – Mobeen Ansari

Morocco has a beautiful architecture but lots of the photos in this post have quite recognisable styles from the Indian subcontinent.

The 2nd photo is the City Palace in Jaipur (Rajasthan, India). With an inverse Google search you can find the photographer, nekineko,  who first uploaded the photo to their Flickr and says it’s the detail  of a door in the inner courtyard of Jaipur’s City Palace.

The 3rd photo is Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore (Punjab, Pakistan). An inverse Google search shows the photographer is  François-Olivier Dommergues (here).

The 4th photo, again, looks very Indian. It's probably Amber Fort in Jaipur (Rajasthan, India).

The 7th one, with the rugs, was taken in Goreme (Cappadocia, Turkey) by the blogger Gypsea Lust.

The 8th one was taken in Khiva (Uzbekistan), as its photographer Xavi says in his Flickr.

And lastly, the 9th photo is again the Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore (Punjab, Pakistan), as the photographer who took it, Mobeen Ansari, indicates in his Flickr.

(Update: I realise now when I reblogged it I must have deleted OP's caption, but it was "Moroccan architecture".)

In continuation of our ongoing series to highlight lesser explored destinations across Pakistan, this summer we visited mystical Peshawar. With the country’s most celebrated travel photographer, Mobeen Ansari and one of Pakistan’s leading supermodels, Peshawar native, Aimal Khan, we encounter the lost grandeur and forgotten splendor of the ancient city. This valley that was once traversed by Alexander the Great holds many wonders for the seeing eye. Here’s a walkabout. Enjoy the visuals!

Two-time Gourmand Award winner, and Pakistan’s leading independent publishing house, Markings Publishing, proudly launched their landmark tenth title ‘White in the Flag’ by photographer Mobeen Ansari at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture on the 3rd of August 2017 in Karachi.

 This title has been launched by Markings Publishing at this juncture specifically given that 2017 marks 70 years of Pakistan. It is thus poignant to note that the book’s focus is a documentation and celebration of the nation’s religious minorities. Indeed,  ‘White in the Flag’ is a continuation of the talented photographer Mobeen Ansari’s journey to document that which reflects Pakistan’s vibrancy and soul through the  people who have made Pakistan.

‘White in the Flag’ explores the diversity, depth and vibrancy of the multitude of religions, cultures, and subcultures that make up the fabric of Pakistan. The journey for Mobeen Ansari has been equally introspective as he viewed and documented the human condition. His journey for the book took him across the parched deserts in Sindh, to the pristine mountains of the North, to the many temples and places of worship and gave him the opportunity to interact with people of all faiths. The title of the book represents the white in Pakistan’s flag that symbolizes the country’s commitment to the rights of religious minorities.

The event was opened with an introduction on the evening by Raisa Vayani from Markings, where she invited on stage Mobeen Ansari who spoke about his experience working on ‘White in the Flag’. This was followed by a video presentation on the book after which Mobeen called on stage representatives of a diversity of Pakistan’s religious and ethnic minorities in a gesture of acknowledgement and appreciation, calling upon members from the Sikh, Hindu, Christian, Kalaashi, communities many of whom had flown in to Karachi for this launch. Markings had also created a symbolic white tree in the courtyard, the Tree of Promise, where attendees tied green threads as a promise and commitment to support and celebrate the religious minorities. The event was managed by Carbon with public relations by Lotus.

“White in the Flag was my journey into the various communities residing across Pakistan. I travelled nationwide, observing people in their different habitats and places of worship in every nook and cranny of urban cities. Whether it was witnessing the colours of Holi at the mandirs of Tharparkar, listening to hymns during Sunday mass at Saint Anthony’s church in Lahore, or joining in on the festivities of Chowmos; a Kalash festival – I have been able to see, capture and celebrate diversity. While interacting and living with different communities, I learnt a lot more about my country and the coexistence of different faiths within it. And my learning made me want to share my share with everyone through this book,” said photographer Mobeen Ansari.

On the launch of the book, CEO Markings Publishing, Kiran Aman said: “White in the Flag is a small step on our part towards developing a level of understanding about and exposure to the diverse religious minority communities in Pakistan. Our hope through the publishing of this book is to help facilitate wider exposure, collaboration and cooperation within the nation along all. We believe strongly in the nurturing of an inclusive culture which highlights and supports the beauty of diversity in Pakistan now in its 70th year, and the fostering of an environment that encourages and recognises with equality our minority communities. The strength of our nation depends on it.”

Published by Markings, all photography for ‘White in the Flag’ is done by Mobeen Ansari himself with book layout and design by Samia Fatima and text editing by Raisa Vayani at Markings. The book will be available at Liberty Books outlets across Pakistan, Book Mark and online at www.kitabain.com for PKR 3,000 from 3rd August 2017 and onwards.
