I love how deeply storytelling is at the heart of photography—whether it's in the raw honesty of documentary work or the intimate, emotional moments of weddings. I have a natural curiosity about the people I capture, a desire to understand and convey their essence through the lens. That kind of vision reminds me of how visual narratives can connect us in ways that words sometimes can't.
Whether in a bustling city like Cairo or in the quiet anticipation of a wedding aisle, I’m capturing the forces that shape people. It's all about that intersection of place, culture, and purpose.
How would you imagine capturing that story visually?.
Besides photography, I love the outdoors, fishing, ultimate frisbee, and my hound dog, Ruby (aka Ruberalla, aka Rubatron).
