¿Qué amas de tu trabajo?
Photography has been my way out, my escape of the dreadful routine job that I had prior to photography. I was a programmer at a servicing providing company that did nothing for my artistic and creative ambitions. I did manage to land a part time job as a male model at "Nidal's Agency" and it is this where my experiences with photography began. Once I finally purchased a camera, it became an obsession, an endless well of inspiration that I needed to empty through photography. We all have a deep subconscious voice that tells us whether what we do is aligned with what fulfills us. photography has been that for me, and I should mention that it has been no easy task, far from it, I could've easily stayed at my comfortable desk job and receive constant pay. However, The meeting of new people, the smiles of hundreds of people I've photographed, the meaning a simply still frame can have, the ability it has to inspire and motivate and relieve passed moment...This is what photography is to me and this why I love what I do.
¿Qué tipos de sesiones has hecho y cómo las hiciste especiales?
I've done fashion photography for @pamelsmithofficial where we shot mainly in 3 different locations; The seashore of Batroun, Batroun village club and the Mseilha Fort. After seeing the clothing pieces, I decided to go for a mid-modern rugged vintage look. We brought in a Vintage Harley Davidson and placed our models on and around the vehicle.
Premios, honores y reconocimientos
I've been recognized by the Beirut center of photography for my iconic Lebanese landscape work on Instagram and requested that I should print out my work and have them displayed at the yearly art convention. However, this was a few weeks prior to my leave to Vancouver to pursue a degree as a 3D VFX artist at the Vancouver film school and thus unfortunately never gotten the chance to do so.
Un dato curioso sobre este fotógrafo
Prior to photography, I was a male model and received second place in the international Manhunt beauty pageant competition. Even though it was a joyful experience, I had little interest in becoming a model myself. Instead, I was more intrigued by photography. Since then it has allowed me to express myself in ways I could never have done with words.
