What the Critics Say:
Mark Kermode - Film Critic; 'My Pure Land': He's a really, really terrific cinematographer.
Simran Hans - Film Critic; 'My Pure Land': There are things to appreciate, such as Haider Zafar's cinematography, which captures the gorgeous, stoic Nazo in silhouette at sunset and lit by moonlight.
Rob James, Total Film - Film Critic, 'Vendetta': Made for 100k but looking a million dollars, thanks to the gleaming images by DoP Haider Zafar.
Chris Hewitt & Danny Leigh - Film Critics, 'Vendetta': It looks great!" Claudia Winkleman - Presenter/Film Critic 'Vendetta': 100 Grand, 3 weeks long - it's impressive!
Ryan Morris, Film Inquiry - Critic, 'Six Rounds': The film's cinematography is stunning. Haider Zafar's camera is loose and free, rarely static and almost always moving. He demonstrates an effortless talent for naturalistic but effective cinematography.
Rhys Handley, One Room with a View - Critic , 'Six Rounds'" Haider Zafar's mostly greyscale cinematography elegantly evokes that monumental collective hangover.
What Directors say: Director Stephen Reynolds: Haider understands a directors' vision like no other cinematographer I have worked with. Calm, calculated and efficient. Even under pressure he maintains a composure which echoes into his craft.
Director Marcus Flemmings: Having worked with Haider since 2006, he is my Director of Photography of choice, by far. His dedication to the project coupled with his visual flair and application of technical knowledge is second to none.
Director J.K. Amalou: Haider is a great DOP. He picks up on every subtle nuance and manages to truly tell a story in pictures. His deep technical knowledge, understanding of story and discerning eye bring a real style to the film. Passionate, dedicated, he is a brilliant collaborator, and he also brings humour to the shoot.
Director Sarmad Masud: After a tough and challenging shoot, it's been great to see Haider being rightfully applauded by the critics and festivals world- wide. His work on My Pure Land is there for all to see on each and every frame.
