His modelling career took a boost when his partner began experimenting with photography. After composing his portfolio, one of his friends saw his pictures and recommended Syed to a stylist. Since then, he has achieved and done many things. He has worked in a movie, did a jewellery campaign, has modelled for independent labels and has also walked the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. The walk at the LFW was a memorable moment for him as he walked for two big designers.
