Photographer. Filmmaker. Yorkshire.

I’m Imran.
I chase
the light.

Early starts. Long hikes. A camera in hand. And a world that never stops surprising me.

I’m Imran Mirza, a photographer and videographer based in Yorkshire. For over a decade, I’ve been turning the places I explore into photographs that make you stop and look a little closer.

Out there is where it begins.

Not a childhood
camera story.

I grew up wanting to be a doctor. Later, I became the person who loved building and upgrading computers. Photography wasn’t a grand plan. It was a passion that kept pulling me outside.

Now, it’s the landscape, the light and the challenge that draw me in. Hiking, camping and mountaineering have become part of the journey: a 2am start for sunrise, a long drive home after sunset, and the possibility of something extraordinary in between.

Sometimes I make the photograph. Sometimes I simply put the camera down and enjoy being there.

For the moments you can’t plan — and the ones worth waiting for.

London, through
my lens.

My London architecture photographs are featured in a Microsoft Windows wallpaper theme. It’s an honour to see those images find a place on other people’s screens.
