American landscape photographer and environmentalist
AHMED NAWAZ is a photographer and poet from Pakistan who majored in Literature from the University of Harpur.
He's very much into philosophy, specifically interested in timeless questions. He's a voracious reader, inclined to posit
his intuitive insights over the vast and flexible realms of life, while confiding himself to the perimeters of being human. He loves reading books, and desires to be a world tourist. He has been pursuing nature as a great source of
his photography. For him, nature is a guide, teacher and healer.
