Pakistan is 240 million people across 74 living languages. The best photography here is patient — tea first, camera second — and returns with dignity, texture and a full name.

Best time to visit

Questions about people in Pakistan

Answers written for travellers, editors and buyers. Every answer is in the page HTML so search and answer engines can quote it directly.

Are the portraits on Pixistan model-released?+

Portraits taken with a signed release are marked as such on the asset page. Editorial-only portraits are clearly flagged and cannot be used in advertising.

Can I use these portraits in an advertising campaign?+

Only assets marked with a commercial release can be used in advertising. All other portraits are editorial-only.

How do contributors approach people they photograph?+

Contributors ask before taking a portrait, explain how the image will be used, and share a print or file where possible. We do not accept hidden-camera or drone-over-people work.

How much does a portrait cost to license?+

Personal and editorial use is free with attribution up to 1920 px. A Standard commercial license starts at PKR 1,200 and an Extended license at PKR 4,800. See /pricing for the full breakdown.

Do you have photos of Pakistan's ethnic communities (Kalash, Balochi, Kalasha, Wakhi)?+

Yes, and each series is shot by a photographer who has worked with that community over repeat visits, not a passing traveller.
