About

I am a photographer based in Chicago, focusing on the beauty and complexity of urban life. I aim to reveal the poetry hidden in everyday moments, capturing solitary figures against towering architecture and exploring the contradictions and resilience found in city life.

Originally from Damascus, Syria, I was inspired to pursue photography by the city's vibrant energy and rich architecture.

My approach is minimalist and contemplative, drawing influence from masters such as Ray Metzker, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Robert Frank. Through my images, I invite you to pause and reflect on the stories that unfold within the everyday rhythm of urban spaces.
