Welcome to Izdiher
My name is Ifrah Imam. I am a communication artist, based in Karachi, Pakistan.
Most of the time you will find me wandering on the streets of Karachi in the quest of finding stories. Photography and video are two media through which I tell those stories. It is just a start, I have miles to go. I also write a blog.
Available for assignments and collaborations.
