Kinan Sweidan

I am a photographer and software engineer based in Chicago. My work focuses on the beauty and complexity of urban life, rooted in the tradition of film photography. I shoot and develop my own films to achieve a unique, timeless look, combining technical skills and artistic expression.

Originally from Damascus, Syria, the city's vibrant energy and rich architecture ignited my passion for photography. My photography captures the quiet moments and the dynamic contrasts that bring cityscapes to life. Through my images, I invite you to pause and reflect on the stories unfolding in the everyday rhythm of urban spaces.
