Each portrait is paired with a personal story and behind-the-scenes glimpse, creating a heartfelt connection between the viewer and the subject.
This is more than a photography series, it’s a movement to spread positivity, bridge cultures, and remind the world of our shared humanity.
The project runs primarily through sponsorships and collaborations with brands, tourism boards, NGOs, and individuals who believe in storytelling with purpose. Sponsors not only become part of a meaningful cause but also receive global visibility through exhibitions, digital campaigns, and media features.
About The Founder
I’m Zubair Malik, a photographer whose journey began with a simple fascination as a child, capturing moments through the lens inspired by my father’s love for photography. By the age of 10, storytelling through images became my way of seeing the world. Over the years, I trained formally at the National College of Arts (NCA) in Lahore and built a career spanning fashion, lifestyle, product, corporate, and wedding photography.
With Million Smiles, I’m taking this passion further, traveling the world to capture the beauty, resilience, and joy in human expressions. Each smile tells a story, and each portrait is a window into the shared experiences that connect us all. This project is more than photography; it’s a movement to spread positivity, celebrate diversity, and remind the world of our shared humanity.
