Professional Photographer from Cairo, Egypt. In 2010 I started Photography as a hobby and it has become the main focus in my life. I believe that PHOTOGRAPHY has to do with the way you see things and not how things may appear to others. The best quote I ever read is “Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one paragraph, or group of them, can lure our sense of awareness”. Photographs reflect a realistic way humanity sees a good piece of art work.
It is important to know that a great photographer is one who captures all that is commonly unnoticed. He/she works with a different ‘eye’ altogether. The lens of a camera explores a world of various perspectives. I feel that art and photography are miles apart, since a photograph reflects exactly what’s in front of the camera. It is not only enlightening to see what photographers around the world have done or are doing, it is also interesting to learn about their life and experiences via our photos.
