Although he photographs a range of subjects, what sets photographer Shahroz Hyder apart is his approach to wedding photography and bridal wear. Hyder’s lens focusses on the candid moments of a wedding, and on intricate details of the clothes. His unique lens ensures that photographs feel natural and spontaneous instead of stylised and kitsch. Alongside brides and grooms, Hyder also uses street photography to convey a powerful sense of place, and most recently has shot the Saira Shakira‘s Eid campaign.
