Ayub was born in Mozambique in 1964. During the Seventies his parents moved the family to India to flee the war-torn country. Ayub spent seven years in India where he completed his secondary education before travelling to Europe and living in Portugal for eight years. In 1992 he moved to London where he now lives with his Singaporean wife and their two children.

Ayub’s travels have made him fluent in seven languages reflecting the diverse cultures he has experienced and which have become a part of him. That diversity which he has been exposed to from birth, led to a natural passion for the diversity found in nature.

It was in India that he discovered photography and was immediately hooked; the ability to freeze a moment or capture an expression or record something for posterity led him to explore photography further and became the driver to dive deeper into this art form.

Having a background in Science and IT, he uses that experience to explore various areas of photography and his work show the result of that interaction. His images reflect the diversity of fields he photographs, from travels in Africa to the beauty in nature to a frozen moment in time of a human expression.

Ayub has combined his other passion, sports, with his love for photography. he is a Black Belt in Karate and a long distance runner, with the half-marathon as his preferred distance.
