Photojournalism
150 x 230 cm
2026
I am an Egyptian-Austrian filmmaker, cinematographer, and photographer based in London, working between still and moving image. My practice began in cinema, where I developed an interest in documentary and visual storytelling, before expanding into photography as a way of exploring ideas more independently.
Across both mediums, I am interested in identity, memory, belonging, political history, and the relationship between people and place. I often explore how personal and collective histories become embedded within landscapes, food, cultural traditions, and everyday life. My work is particularly drawn to stories shaped by conflict, displacement, borders, and the experiences of communities whose histories are often overlooked.
I use visual language as a form of reflection and resistance. Rather than providing direct answers, I aim to create work that encourages audiences to slow down, question what they see, and consider their own relationship to the subject. I am interested in the emotional possibilities of images and in finding visual forms that can communicate feelings and histories that are difficult to express through words alone.
My practice moves between documentary photography, film, and mixed media, with the medium determined by the story I want to tell.
