Films Gulmaal, mugavari and many other movies speak volumes about her talents.
The first woman cinematographer in the south who shot into fame with Revathi’s ‘Mitra - my friend’ movie made with the help of high tech women crews that won the National Film Award.
Fowzia is also a talented artist in the field of paintings, art history and photography.“I/Eye See Myself in You” a photographic

The public response was so good that she intends to conduct one such event in Chennai soon.She is the founder of IWCC an association for Indian Women Cinematographers.
To everyone’s surprise,
