About the Photographer
Jameel has been taking pictures since his early school days. His main area of interest is landscapes, cityscapes and nature. It started with the fascination with his grandfathers Rollei TLR, taking pictures of whatever caught his fancy and then watching the pictures come to life in the darkroom. It was mainly black and white at this stage. Color caught his fancy when he got to play with his father's new Yashica rangefinder. It transitioned from there to the world of 35mm SLRs. With the advent of digital, the film took a back seat as with most photographers today. He currently shoots with a variety of Canon DSLRs, a variety of lenses from Canon and occasionally also adapting Carl Zeiss and Olympus lenses to the Canon DSLRs.
Jameel is fascinated by nature, the play of light, the human perception of light and the amazing instrument that is the human eye. In his strive to capture the glory of God's creation he is constantly seeking out new avenues to express this glory through the medium of photography.
