Hi, I’m Paktian, based in Berlin. I studied mechanical engineering and have been working as a spacecraft engineer for more than 10 years. Over the years, photography has been a steady companion, providing me with a space to clear my head, observe my surroundings, and be creative. Through my photos, I try to capture not just what I see, but also what I feel in that moment, because to me, a photo is so much more than just what you see.

On the homepage, I’ve shared a selection of photos that I think represent my style.
