In most parst of Pakistan, photographing women (including girls) have to be done cautiously, as this might be regarded as violation to their culture and religion. But in some villages in Northern Pakistan, where most of the people believe in the moderate Islamic sect of Ismaili, the attitude is much more laidback. Women and girls might be happily expose their faces and pose in front of a stranger’s camera.
