My Journey As A Photographer
Traveling and capturing moments has always been my passion, I was born and raised in Amman – Jordan and moved to Beirut – Lebanon by the age of 17 and that is when my journey into exploring the world and its wonders started. As I started traveling more and seeing more of the beauty this world has to offer, the more I fell in love with photography. By the age of 23 I realized my passion and love for photography is not just a hobby, but a way of life so I moved to Dubai to study photography. Since then I have been traveling the world and telling stories through my lens,
A Twist To Change Our Perception
-
For the past 14 years I’ve been traveling from one city to another, from one state of mind to another, and from one experience to another. Along the way I gained a lot of experience in life, in love, in beauty, and art. There were times I felt this euphoric flow of existence run through me and it made me do wonderful things, other times I felt like a little child with broken wings and it made me do wonderful things as well.
Throughout the years we live on this earth trying to ride this gigantic rollercoaster feeling the excitement of all the ups and the fear of all the downs we experience. We encounter those significant moments where we realize how sometimes we fear the ups and find our comfort zone in the downs, and once we do it starts defining us. So we forget how magical this ride could be and we start defining who we are by our fears and making this comfort zone our daily life, as the years pass by we get more comfortable and forget our true potential.
The trick is not to fear the ups or the downs but embrace both as they are both life changing and make you do wonderful things. It is in those moments of complete sorrow or moments of complete bliss we discover who we are and what our true potential is, it is in those moments we start listening to the whispers coming from the heart, it is in those moments we find the answers for all our questions and doubts.

Despair and joy both look so different yet they are just different faces of the same coin. It truly doesn’t have to be a struggle, it is simply making an effort and thriving for life. Then all the emptiness inside will disappear into nothingness, and it will be replaced with the capacity for greatness.
You are one magnificent, fearless, wild, beautiful being. So BE that creature you are meant to be, leave your fears behind and take a walk into the wilderness of your mind. Discover the enchantment of your soul, and live as the marvelous phenomena that you are.
