About Me
Shizza Majeed is a London-based photographer working across editorial, documentary and portraiture photography.
Her graduate series, Babaji’s Britain, gained recognition in 2025, featuring in Autograph ABP’s online gallery with selected works displayed on a digital billboard in Old Street, London. Through this work, she was shortlisted for the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Britain Vol. 8 and named a finalist for the Association of Photographers Emerging Talent Award 2025. The project was later supported by Counterpoints Arts, leading to further exposure. Her work has also appeared in The BJP, Amateur Photographer, Hyphen Online and Source Magazine.
Most recently, she was awarded the Madiha Aijaz Prize for a young photographer of promise at the Royal Over-Seas League Photography Awards 2025.
