"Shimmy Ahmed is no rookie when it comes to fashion film. With a portfolio of work for fashion labels and publishers that would give anyone a run for their money, Ahmed is a seasoned visionary of fashion on screen, and a gifted interpreter of mood, style and philosophy."

Art and design journalist based in London

I'm an artist/ photographer based in London and Mumbai. I'm Interested in history, current affairs and cultural identity. I'm inspired by my immediate surroundings. I travel a lot and always make work in the places I visit. I often turn my attention towards architecture in order to examine the identity of the places I visit. I work intuitively in a documentary manner as it allows me more in depth involvement with my subject. I only use film/analogue processes, mainly mediaum and large formats. These are preferred as they are more precise and slower and aenable me to take time over the composition, to produce a more thoughtful and deliberate image, as compared with the snapshot/hit and run type of photography.
