Shezan Muhammedi for Carleton University

I had the opportunity to photograph Shezan Muhammedi for Carleton University last month. He is the Research Adviser and Oral Historian for the Ugandan Asian Archives at Carleton, and is a PhD candidate in History, Migration, and Ethnic Relations at Western University.

I photographed him as part of the portrait series for this webpage by Carleton called Building the Ugandan Asian Archive. They explain on the site how the university "is working diligently to capture the experiences of those connected to the 1972 expulsion of Ugandan Asians. Canada was one of the first countries to respond to the crisis. This portrait series is testimony to the importance of the archival collection."

Thanks to Fateema Sayani for the great project as always, and for taking some BTS shots! Thanks also to Greg Crutchlow for assisting and of course Shezan for letting me boss him around.
