 Introduction


Hi, my name is Naveed Tasadduq I am a 17-year-old boy from international school Lahore. I'm currently doing a level, and I have taken media as one of my subjects. ever since I've been a child, I've loved both photography and videography however I was more inclined towards the latter. Videography and photography have always been a passion of mine. This started when I figured my dad had so many cameras that he wouldn't mind if I stole one. hence this passion was inherited, and it runs in my blood. Since I've been a child there's one issue that has intrigued me, daytime theft. Otherwise known as political corruption; most commonly. in Pakistan. Corruption has been a major part in our country now turning into a form of culture in Pakistan this is known as Dala culture or pickup culture. This started when politicians used big cars or pickups to intimidate people and scare them. These big cars have now become a status of respect in our society, moreover this dragged me into these matters and had me fall in love with these cars. That symbolized a lot more than what they were intended for. 

A few of these aspects are represented by a few photographers that i lookup to such as, Rehan Khalil, Banksy, Andy Warhol, Tayyub Naveed. 

some of my favorites and inspirations!!

   History of Dala Culture  Driving through the streets of Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad, you may encounter a modified Toyota Revo or Vigo, headlights flashing, blaring music, usually some form of rap or Punjabi bangers speeding through traffic as if it owns the road. These pickup trucks, no longer the rugged utility vehicles, have become chariots of privilege, ego and power, fueling the the trend which is now known as “Dala culture”  The terrifying part of this culture is how swiftly it evolved becoming the vehicle of choice of affluent young men—sons of landlords, politicians, industrialists—using them as a way of displaying their wealth and power, arming their vehicles with illegal tints, massive tires and raised suspensions showing themselves to be above the law. This truck symbolises the phrase: “Move, because I won’t stop.” The streets are their domain. You’ll find convoys of these pickup trucks charging through wedding processions, college farewells and late ni...
