About
I love Creative Resonance. It's like a drug.
Photography is where I found my life’s passion, I love what I do.
I love making photographs that create a shining moment of connection.
I'm inspired by raw instances, moments of aspiration and cultural galavanting.
Hailing from the war city of Aleppo, it's where I learned how to dodge lead guns and missiles while clicking a shutter.
Then I enjoyed a short stay in the beautiful city of Istanbul where I realized I wasn't quite Turkish enough to make a living there. After leaving Turkey, I journeyed to Holland to dry out the long soggy years of my Istanbul days.
Currently, I can be found dodging taxis on my bicycle in my new hometown The Hague City, exploring new cultures in a far off country, or chowing down on delicious food while sipping on an exquisite craft cocktail.
Recently I started to interview creative Dutch photographers, to discuss fears, struggles, and creative process that have created their success. These great conversations inspire me, and I like to share those conversations to inspire other like-minded creatives too.
In the end If you want to think in creative way you have to think different.
