He showed his appreciation by posting a two thumbs-up emojis on the Crown Prince of Dubai’s Instagram. The thumbs-up was for Ahmed’s shot, which goes by the name @faz3. The famed Burj Khalifa in Dubai and other towers along Sheikh Zayed Road can be seen in the backdrop of the shot, which the 28-year-old Keralite took. The image also features one of his American pals sitting on a terrace railing.

In college, Nishas Ahmed often used his phone to shoot images. He was given a camera to use five years ago by one of his pals. He now works as a freelance photographer while taking pictures in his spare time

Speaking to Gulf News, Nishas Ahmed said that his relatives and friends were overjoyed with the appreciation. Sheikh Hamdan’s appreciation was not new. He has responded to earlier photos from Ahmed: he had loved Ahmed’s photo of a boat passing in front of the Dubai Mall Fountain that he had uploaded last year. However, 2019 saw the relocation of Ahmed, who works for a logistics firm. As a freelance photographer, he captures images.
