My name is Ghalib Hasnain, I’m 24 years old and I live in Karachi, Pakistan. Since about 1 years I do street photography. For me the in-terest in humanity was the primary reason why I started to shoot strangers in the streets. I always wanted to see and document every-thing and everybody. I wanted to be close, the closer the better. This brought me to a genre of street photography I call “Candid Street Portraiture”. It’s a way of taking someone's portrait from a very close distance without asking for permission. This kind of photography may be controversial, but it’s part of my passion taking photos in the streets. I have to live with critics about my art every day. Since I love this so much, I don’t really care that there are some people shouting at you, writing negative comments and try to take you down. It was my choice to shoot like that and keep doing it, no matter what hap-pens or what people say about it.
