Troubles
This work is a reaction to the music of Scott Walker.
My work is divided between fine arts photography and documentary. I consider photography to be a personal expression but also a reflexion. My images are about concepts that question not only the subject (what is seen) but the photographer himself through his work and the medium that is used to produce such concepts.

entry description
A series of self-portaits showing psychological troubles. The expression of anxiety is scanned mechanically into sequences that show alternatives between scenes of crises and depressive latencies. The visual technology becomes a mediator and a revelation of the invisible that is repressed under my skin.This work is a reaction to the music of Scott Walker.
about the photographer
I was born in Beirut - Lebanon in 1977. I wanted to be a graphic designer in the purpose to design CD booklets and posters. In 1995 i went to Brussels for two years to study Typography and Graphic Design at La Cambre (school of visual arts in Brussels). After it, i returned to my country and had my degree in Mass Media - Publicity at the Lebanese University. In 2001 i moved to France where i live now, and had my master degree in Communication-Publicity. Then i dropped all my publicity studies out of interest, but the passion to produce an image was still a need inside me, so i turned naturally into photography. In 2012 i had my degree in Fine Arts - Photography at the University of Paris 8.My work is divided between fine arts photography and documentary. I consider photography to be a personal expression but also a reflexion. My images are about concepts that question not only the subject (what is seen) but the photographer himself through his work and the medium that is used to produce such concepts.
