Trapped Beauty Series #3 Photograph - Limited Edition of 3

"When I was a child, I was only interested in cricket. Pictures never attracted me, ads held no meaning. Photographers were a non-Entity, and models were never more beautiful than my English teacher." I came into Professional Photography more by chance than by choice. I chose fashion as his field of specialisation, which brought name, fame, arrogance and a narrow vision with it. Photography was turning People into beautiful babydoll images; Expressionless but beautiful. After 25 years, when I realised an empty gap in my life and career, then I set out to shoot real people, nature, still life, even cars and hotels. "The more I put on my plate, the more hungry I became." Inspired by the words of Kahlil Gibran, "How mean am I when life gives me gold and I give you silver, and yet I deem myself generous." I, Rafique Sayed, want to give GOLD FOR GOLD to the world.
