Hasnain’s first introduction to photography occurred at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London where he worked on several projects that led him to discover both digital as well as analogue. His experience of photographing the Star Trek sets and exhibits at Hyde Park led him to discover his love for digital astride his engagement with analogue while he was studying. He made his introduction to the dark room and learned more about photography. While he moved on to working in Digital, for the fashion industry and Bollywood cinema, his fascination and love for analogue techniques has stayed on and he ventures into it once again, experimenting and discovering new aspects through the sheer desire to learn through trial and error.
Besides is technical engagement with the dark room, it is indicated through Hasnain’s philosophical and spiritual beliefs and subsequently in his photographic oeuvre that he is fascinated by the forces of life, the light and the darkness, the positive and the negative, the Yin and the Yang, the Sun and the Moon. While experiencing the many shades of grey, is something he has been taking pleasure in from his advent into photography, it is with his solo exhibition, 'The Meeting Point', held at, Cultivate Art Global, Mumbai, 2021, Dhoomimal Art Gallery in 2021, and subsequently held online at the Quarentena Galeria, Chile 2022, that Hasnain came into his own.
