Congratulations to ketang for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 5 votes - View Previous Winners
I recently finished my images from a trip to Pakistan in January. These images are all from Sindh Province with many from the capital city of Karachi. My most used lens was the Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 with a few from the Sigma 35mm 1.2. Hope you enjoy them.

Ketang, absolutely stunning set! All images are fantastic and the kids in their natural setting with beautiful smiles are my favorite. This set definitely earns my vote. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! And yes, I probably gained ~10 pounds in under 3 weeks. Still working it off.

Wow, gorgeous. Love the blue portraits. And the sweet girl with the goat. And the man with a cigarette... can't decide which is my favorite!

Wow, what a wonderful set of intimate portraits. You really seem to have connected with your subjects and captured them at their best. I hope you got some of these back to them, I'm sure they would love the wonderful work you did. Congrats on the well deserved feature. I'm sure glad FM doesn't put a limit on the number of shots - every one is special and they all add up to a masterwork portfolio.

Thank you and yes I hope to do that on my next trip. Some of these people are regulars in the spots where I met them so I should be able to.

I highly recommend Pakistan in general for street photography like this, Karachi in particular. If you visit, my favorite spots include Jodia Bazar, Ibrahim Hyderi, and Lighthouse Market.
