MYSPACE PROFILE

 

 


 

Born and bred in London, Sohail Anjum has quickly risen to become one of the leading photographers in the UK. Having taken photographs of all the major South Asian celebrities his highly creative work oozes style and lots of class. Currently working as freelance photographer for Asiana Magazine and various picture agencies after a five year stint as the Picture Editor of UK's leading South Asian newspaper, Eastern Eye. It is astonishing to realise that he in fact taught the technically complex craft to himself over a glittering fourteen year period.

The list of superstars and cutting edge newcomers that he has captured with his camera include Shah Rukh Khan, Asha Bhsole, Christopher Lee, Amitabh  Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai. In short if they are famous then they have crossed his path. Perhaps the biggest talent that he has is the ease with which he is able to make the transition from various areas that include news features, fashion, portfolios, celebrity photo shoots and live events. Sohail prefers to shoot on location and in black & white.

Not afraid to experiment he is constantly pushing creative barriers  with some of the most glorious triumphs  coming from following his instincts and venturing into the unknown. Always learning he greatly admires the works  of others. Some of the eclectic publications his works have appeared in includes, Asiana & Asiana Wedding, Eastern Eye, India Today, Verve Magazine (India), Libas International, The Evening Standard, Mail on Sunday, News of the World,  Ahlan Masala (Dubai), Marwar (India). His clients have included, Yash Raj Films, Western Union, Star TV.
