Tapu Javeri
Tapu Javeri started photography at a young age first working for Dawn, then for magazines like Teenager, Libas, Fashion Collection and Herald. One of the pioneers of fashion photography in Pakistan, he is probably the best known name in fashion photography. He later became a photo-editor for Xtra, a magazine which in its short life span became popular because of its controversial content, creating waves in Pakistani fashion and beyond. He has also published a book of portraits called ‘I, Voyeur’. It is a collection of black & white portraits of Pakistani notables and newsmakers. Since the last few years he has ventured into the field of mixed media photo paintings. By fusing his two favourite passions—- art and photography— he has created a new form of photographic expression. His works have been auctioned by Christie’s of London and are also in demand by art collectors all over the world.
