Obaidullah Abid

I grew up around it. My late father loved fashion and photos, and I’ve been behind the camera capturing creative shots since I was as young.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Photography is my favorite form of artistic expression because it combines creativity with human connection. What makes it especially meaningful to me is the ability to work closely with clients and capture genuine emotion in a way that feels authentic to them. Every session is an opportunity to translate feelings, memories, and personality into a visual story. Creating images that make people feel confident, happy, and understood is what makes photography the most rewarding to me.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in the individuality of every client I work with. I enjoy creating photos that reflect their personality, style, and emotions rather than relying on repetitive poses. I pay close attention to what my clients wear, the setting they want, and the atmosphere they envision so each session feels authentic. I also enjoy using creative angles and compositions to make every shoot feel unique, memorable, and more personal than traditional photography styles.

What would you do with $25,000?

If I won $25,000, I would give a large portion of it to my single mother because she has sacrificed so much for me and my siblings, especially after the loss of our father. Despite her health struggles, she continues to support and care for our family every day, so being able to help her financially would mean everything to me. I would also invest the remaining amount into improving my photography equipment so I can continue growing my skills, expanding my work, and creating better projects.
