I am basically a travel and portrait photographer who tries to find meaning of things within a larger context and tries to simplify to understand them better. My journeys have taken me to distant lands where by comparing previous experiences I have learned many lessons in life and have met many wonderful and beautiful people who have shared personal moments with me. I have been attracted to their compassion, humility, love, pride ... positive elements that give hope and confidence and bring people together regardless of race or religion.
I try to photograph beauty in all forms whether emotions, movement, or human interaction. My basic concept of life is one of mutual respect. I realize that faces may be different but human interactions and relationships are the same and so we are indeed a “family of man”.
This blog is an attempt to reconcile my thoughts with my pictures and also allows me to relive those special moments where I took these pictures and to remember the individuals and places with fondness.
Please write and let me know if you like or can relate to any of my pictures or if you know any of these faces whether in person or through your own experiences.
Thank you for taking time to view my images. May creativity, joy and peace lead you in whichever journey you choose.

Wendy - Hello Arif, I love these new nature pictures. As always, you just have a gift for capturing the beauty in the world around you. I hope all is well. Wendy
Arif - コメントをありがとうございました。
オオハクチョウの一枚を気に入って頂けたとのこと、嬉しく思います。冬の北海道はとても美しかったです。
動物の撮影は今まで経験がありませんでしたが、何時間もカメラを構えて、動きや表情を眺めているうちに撮りたいイメージが沸いてきました。
あとは正しい瞬間を待つだけなのですが…この一枚が撮れたのはとてもラッキーだったと思います。
Thank you again for taking the time to visit and comment. Arif
Susie - 沢山の写真の中でも、私はオオハクチョウの、特に二羽がからまっている一枚が、とても気に入りました。 こんなショットは、プロの写真家でもなかなか撮れるものではありませんよね（もっともアリフさんはプロ級ですが）！ 他のどれもが、アリフさんの心意気、又は情熱、、etc. を感じさせていて、日曜の午後には、ずっと眺めていたい写真ばかりです。
Arif - Thank you Daniella and good to hear that all is going very well with you and Marsel. Congrats on being selected for the GE commercial
Looking forward to reading about your Algeria and Libya trip.
Daniella - Great pictures and nice story telling! It was wonderful having you along with us.
