Fashion editorial for Sckali's Shahrazad Colloection.

I was born in Alexandria, Egypt on July 5, 1979. As a child, my first interaction with art was through my father, an amateur painter. At the age of ten I took private lessons in drawing. During college, I was never satisfied with Business Administration as a major, so I choose to educate myself in arts to a level which enabled me later to put my first step in the art industry. Swinging between working as a 3D animator and an animation director I continued exploring the world of art just to figure out my passion about composition, lighting and concept more than other perspectives in the 3D field. Then I had decided to go further with photography, which I was already practicing as a hobby.

Winning an award in a photography competition at the American arts festival in Qatar took my career towards an important curve, and that was the start for My professional career in photography.

In the past 8 years I had successfully built an extensive portfolio with many international agencies and brands, my work had been exposed throughout international publications and magazines.
