LAHORE: Renowned wedding photographer Izzah Shaheen Malik, commonly known as Pictroizzah, has accused senior photographer, Irfan Ahsan, of harassing her.
Pictroizzah took to Instagram and revealed that ever since she entered the industry, she met with all kinds of people who made her comfortable and those who made her unwelcome. There was a disagreement between both the photographers after Irfan claimed that Pictroizzah usually ‘hijack’ his coverage.
“Irfan Ahsan, the supposedly senior-most photographers in the industry has been having problems with me for my usage of wider focal length. And to prove his point he harassed me by sending photos to PWAP group. He also posted photos of myself that I could have easily been cropped out of on his social media,” she wrote.
According to Izza, most of the male photographers sided with Irfan Ahson despite the fact that he used inappropriate language for the female photographer. She claimed that the next day, memes against women and Aurat March were posted and used against her.
Izzah further said that she had stayed quiet then, and she would have stayed that way had Irfan deleted her pictures. Later, she decided to take to the public the ‘harassment’ she faced that left her ‘traumatized’. The female photographer has also decided to file an application with Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) against Irfan for ‘bullying’ and ‘harassment’.
Irfan Ahson has not yet responded to the controversy. However, several female influencers have shown support to Izzah and lauded her for being brave enough to share such an ‘unpleasant’ incident.
