About the Exhibition:

Step into a world of personal exploration through Travel Tales, an intimate photographic exhibition capturing my adventures of over 11 countries. These heartfelt images invite you to wander streets and alleyways, experiencing stories and visions I’ve encountered along the way.

As you enter, please collect a boarding pass to guide you to your designated photograph. Each image, marked with your seat number, serves as an entry point into a new chapter of discovery.

I invite you to take in the work at your own pace. Allow each photograph to evoke reflection, emotion, and inspiration. Through these visual stories, I hope you will find moments of solace, joy, and appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.

With over 20 years of experience as a photographer, I have had the privilege of working with renowned organizations such as Reuters, Agence France-Presse (AFP), and UNICEF, each experience deepening my view of the world. Certified by National Geographic, PhotoManhattan in New York, and Gulf Photo Plus in Dubai, I strive to capture moments that highlight the richness of different cultures and the profound connection between people and places.

My work has been exhibited globally, with shows in London, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Cyprus, Beirut, and Dubai. Through this exhibition, I hope to share not just images, but the power of photography to uplift our perspective on life.

This exhibit is in loving memory of my mother, Nora, whose timeless guidance will always motivate me and whose boundless love will dwell in my heart always.
