Sohail
Karmani is a part-time photographer from
London and a full-time professor of writing at New York University in Abu
Dhabi. As a photographer, he has a keen interest in ‘people photography’ and
relishes nothing more than the thrill and uncertainty of approaching and
shooting complete strangers. A key feature that he strives to bring out in his
photographs is an emotional connection between the subject and viewer.
Influences on his work include that of Steve McCurry and Emilio Morenatti —
especially their work in South Asia. Other inspirations for his work are the
great masterpieces of portraiture from the Flemish and Italian Renaissance
periods.
He is currently putting together a portfolio of portraits from his ancestral hometown of 'Sahiwal', a city in Eastern Central Punjab in Pakistan. He has only visited Pakistan a handful of times, and after each visit finds himself being lured back by the beauty, warmth and humanity of ordinary Pakistanis.
Another (and very different) part of the world he is drawn to is Italy. In the summer of 2015, he is planning to visit Milan and hopes to capture the faces, emotions and stories of the 'Milanesi' as they go about their everyday lives.
