About Me

My name is Awes Amin, and I have lived in Melbourne, Australia for the past for the last 2 decades. Melbourne has been consistently ranked by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) as the world’s most liveable city for seven consecutive years. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to reside in this remarkable and inspiring city.

I have been a photographer for some time now, although I never pursued formal photography education. My journey has been one of self-learning through trial and error, gleaning knowledge from friends and the vast resources of the internet. I am a continuous learner.

In today’s world of ubiquitous smartphones, photography has become incredibly accessible, with most people now actively participating. Google reports a staggering  over 24 billion selfies were uploaded last year, highlighting the sheer volume of images being captured.

Aaminphotography encompasses a diverse range of subjects, including street/life photography, portraits, travel, nature, landscapes (land and cityscapes), and waterscapes, all captured in various locations around the globe. I firmly believe that a powerful image speaks volumes, conveying a story without the need for extensive verbal description.

Street photography holds a special place in my heart. I particularly enjoy capturing candid moments of people engaged in their daily lives – socializing, taking selfies, playing, working, eating, smoking, interacting with others, resting, photographing, recording, walking, shopping, and a myriad of other activities. These images, often in black and white, tell captivating stories of human existence, documenting fleeting moments that might otherwise be lost to memory.

I also find great joy in portrait photography. You’ll often notice a genuine smile in my portraits, especially those captured on the street. This is often a result of establishing a rapport with my subjects. By approaching them with politeness and a friendly smile, I often elicit a natural and genuine smile in return.

Travel is a significant passion of mine, and I’ve had the privilege of exploring over 30 countries. Each destination offers a unique blend of beauty, culture, customs, history, people, emotions, landscapes, and stories, all of which I strive to capture through my lens.

It’s crucial to exercise caution and respect when photographing people and locations in foreign countries. Researching and understanding the local culture, customs, and laws is essential before embarking on any travel photography venture.

Aaminphotography also showcases a diverse collection of unique and seemingly unrelated images, encompassing street photography, creative photography, still life, nature, portraits, cityscapes, animal photography, and more.

Photography is my greatest passion. Thank you for visiting my site, and I hope you enjoy exploring my images.

Be happy and smile!!!
