Photography is termed as the Universal Language of the People. It can bind people from various cultures and geographies. It is through photography one can witness perspectives never thought before. It is through the photographer's lens that unseen, unknown realities can be captured and shared. To explore and capture such talent across the borders, we at White Falcon Publishing collaborated with Daastan, Pakistan to organise Indo-Pak Photography contest in 2021.The contest was based on four themes -- Life- Folk Arts- Landscapes- Built HeritageThe response from photographers from both the nations was overwhelming. We received submissions from professional photographers who know the art inside out across all four themes, with the theme life attracting the most submissions. This enthusiasm of the participants strengthened our resolve to continue working towards building strong bonds of love and brotherhood across manmade boundaries.A total of 61 submissions were shortlisted which form part of this book. With such amazing contributions, the book has turned out to be an amazing blend of lifestyle, cultures, societies, landscapes and art forms.We thank and appreciate the winners of Indo-Pak Photography Contest for their support and contribution.White Falcon Publishing is a Chandigarh, India based publishing house that was founded in 2014.

In past decade, they have built the foundations of the book publishing industry in Pakistan by building a tech platform Qissa (www.meraqissa.com)Daastan provides end-to-end guided book publishing solutions to its customers. You can get your books written, edited, designed, registered, published, distributed and even marketed within Pakistan.They currently hold Commonwealth's Regional Finalist Award, UNESCO's Media Information Literacy Award and National Winner of SDG Bootcamp by UNDP.What makes Daastan unique is that it was born out of a personal struggle of the founder who was unable to publish his debut book in Pakistan, a decade ago.
