I’m an nineteen years aged girl living in Cairo, A pharmacy student.
I started photoraphy in 2004 (I used to shoot with my camera phone then), but I think my hobby’s real begining was in Summer 2006 when I got my cybershot W-50, then took it seriously early in 2008 when I got my first DSLR my dear nikon D40 :D.
My photo With their hands..Rowing to a world of their own won the 9th place in the Europian Commission’s delegation to Egypt’s first photo competition whose theme was Egypt: Life in a picture for the year 2008.
I’m just taking photography as a hobby, I never thought of being a professional photographer before, maybe because proffessional photography may make me lose that joy I get from shooting freely for myself, but maybe if I found a good chance to work in photography I will.
I participated in two group exhibition and looking forward to having my own one soon.
I believe in atrs and culture, arts can change the world, I am an Arab and a muslim and I do respect arts. I believe that a photo should have an idea behind, deliver this idea or change the viewer’s prespective about a certain issue or even just tease his/her mind about it, otherwise I don’t consider what’s there a form of art.
Note: Showing the beauty of a place or an object is a major idea that arts should deliver, also sharing other traditions and cultures is amazing, I am person who’s interested in other cultures and would love to see more of them :).
