My name is Nazmul Islam, I am a Landscape, Wedding and Events photographer based in London.  My love of photography began in 2004 when I decided to go on a trek around Egypt documenting my travels and capturing landscapes and the colourful people that I encountered on my journey. My passion for photography has blossomed from there onwards and I have continued my journey to other genres of photography.

Nature and the outdoors has taken me to places like Bangladesh where I have documented work with NGO's on Tiger Conservation.   I have also worked alongside local organisations in London, undertaken youth projects to teach the value of photography to aspiring young photographers in documenting their environment.  This has earned me the prestigious award of The Documentary Photographer of the Year from The Royal Photographic Society in 2014. 

Whilst capturing grand vistas through my Landscapes, this has furthered my wedding photography skills where I specialise in environmental portraits, combining the beauty of the location with the couple.  To view more of my wedding photography please click on the Weddings gallery.

With the ever-demanding growth of the photography industry, I also teach one to one classes, small intimate groups. My commercial clients have included online news media, magazines, local government and non-governmental organisations.

In between capturing landscapes and weddings my passion also sees me documenting my home city of London. This city has has so much to offer for photographic opportunities including the people, architecture and the vibrancy of life in this vast metropole. Capturing daily life in this city has made me evolve as a photographer and keeps my hunger to showcase this city in all its glory day or night. If you would like to see more please see my city and architecture gallery.

My camera bag is predominately made up of Canon gear.  I have always used Canon as far as I can remember, from my early days of film point and shoot cameras, such as the Canon Sure shot to my first digital compact the Canon Ixus 50. My first DSLR was the Canon 400D with the 18-55mm kit lens back in 2006.  I also use smaller Fuji and and OM Systems (formally know as Olympus) cameras.

Landscapes and Events

My prime camera for landscapes is now the Canon Eos R5 however, most of my images were captured previously with the Canon 5D mark 3 and also the Canon Eos R.  My lenses are predominantly made up of zoom lens as they are so versatile in the field. They include the Canon EF 16-35mm F4 IS, which is my favourite landscape lens.  The EF 24-70mm F2.8 mark 2, the RF 70-200mm F4 IS and the RF 100-400 F8, which make up the lens line up.  

I still use filters in this digital age as I enjoy the process of having to take my time and trying to come as close as possible to the final visualised image. I have used the Lee filter 100mm system since the start of my landscape photography journey and found them to be the best for my needs. I carry all my gear in two bags, the Shimoda Explorer V2 25L bag for around the city and shorter trips and the Shimoda Action X V2 30L bag for my longer trips away.  The final piece of gear which is also a must is a steady tripod, I use the Gitzo Mountaineer series 1. 

Street and Architecture

For my street and everyday photography I use a couple of cameras, the wonderful Fuji X100V along the 28mm equivalent wide angle convertor and the 50mm equivalent tele convertor. I also use the Om Systems OM-3 which is a stunning camera packed full of features. The lenses I use are the 20mm F1.4 Pro, this is my primary lens which lives on the camera! I also use the Lumix 14mm F2.5, Olympus 45mm F1.8 and finally the OM 12-45mm F4 Pro lens. All this equipment is carried on my Billingham Hadley bags, the original Hadley Pro, the Hadley Pro Small. I also use a Peak Design Outdoor Sling 7L (one can never have enough camera bags!).
