you & me
With his captivating allure and rugged appeal, emerging model Ahmed Butt has quickly made a name for himself in the fashion industry. In 2021, he took his desire to become a model to a fashion photographer, who created a portfolio for him. Ahmed then shared this portfolio with top talent agencies in Pakistan. While waiting for opportunities, he focused on staying fit and in shape. Fortunately, Ahmed’s good looks and hard work didn’t take long to grab attention. Citrus Talent gave him his break by featuring him in a Domino’s advertisement. This brought him lots of praise and soon he started getting offers for TV commercials, digital video campaigns (DVCs), and photo shoots from various brands and renowned designers like Bonanza, Amir Adnan, Shahid Afridi, Edge Republic, Nomi Nisar, Najib Maya, Karigur, Elham, and Naushemian by Nauman Arfeen, among others.
