Zakaria is a photographer who makes meaning of the world through his pictures. He has travelled widely and documented many parts of Asia.
From observing a former monarchy’s transition to a federal republic in Nepal and witnessing the plight of internally displaced persons in Pakistan’s military offensive against the Taliban, Zakaria was there to document events as they unfolded before his eyes.
He focuses on documentary projects and shows the changing face of Asia in conflict or in progress. His photographs and stories have appeared in various publications both in Singapore and Asia.
Currently, he photographed and created an anthology of portraits and anecdotes of the retired Singapore Gurkhas as they reminisce about life in the Lion city — from the 1950s till today.
Photographs on his website are available as limited edition fine art prints. For more details, please get in touch.
