My name is Zain, better known online as 'zenaxfilms,' a procrastinating perfectionist, somehow making it through life as a former arts student studying A level Psychology, Media Studies, and Business (Economics and I had a complicated relationship before we broke up). This combination of delaying my work and thinking "hojaye ga" (itll get done) paired with wanting to perfect every single detail results in me missing a lot of deadlines.

Most of my free time is spent either consuming or creating. Whether it’s hitting the gym, playing football, swimming, or binge-watching Netflix for "media research," I’m always looking for stories to tell or ways to keep my mind busy. I love photography, sketching, gaming (in recent times, mostly FIFA and Minecraft), and occasionally picking up old hobbies like guitar or reading, although those now gather dust like the books in my library. I used to box, kick in taekwondo, and throw elbows in Muay Thai for a few weeks, so yes, I like to think I could survive an action movie.
Over the years, I’ve become more drawn to media and storytelling. I’m inspired by creators like gawx and MoodyDarkroom, who manage to make their work feel raw and emotional without falling into the trap of clichés, whose art feels like a soul. This is the kind of work I like to create.

My work carries a lot of emotional weight, often exploring themes like depression, heartbreak, hopeless romanticism, unrequited love, euphoria, pain, and even the sinister edges of human emotion. I’ve tried to visualise feelings most people can’t put into words, and it’s become something deeply personal for me. Funny enough, despite my obsession with capturing life, my camera rarely turns to me.
Out of the 130,000+ photos in my gallery (yes, that number is real), maybe 1,000 feature me. So, in a way, my photography is me showing you pieces of myself—just not in the usual sense.

When people see my work, I want them to feel everything. To cry, to be hurt, to question, to want more. I want them to sit there, staring at an image or a scene I’ve created, and crave more of that story. That’s the goal: to create something so emotionally raw, so visually compelling, that it sticks with people long after they’ve seen it. I don’t know exactly what my magnum opus will be yet, but I hope it’s something that shifts the world of photography and film into a space it’s never been before
