Today in the episode, we talk to one of our Pexels photographers, Zeeshaan Shabbir, who is a photographer/ videographer residing in New York City. Zeeshaan picked up a point-and-shoot camera for the first time growing up, like most photographers, and dabbled in various forms of photography from fashion to film, but it wasn’t until he moved to New York City where he really found a passion for street photography. 

We talk about what the creative landscape looks like there, where he draws inspiration from to create moody, cinematic shots of the city, and how to navigate the current social media landscape as an artist - being able to balance patience and purpose when it comes to creating photographs that are truly meaningful. 

This episode gives you an inside look at how a street photographer finds inspiration in his surroundings. So without further ado, let’s get the conversation started!
