Portrait nominee

The current body of works have been completed through my efforts in recent years in order to understand the inner world of contemporary human in my own geography.
The people with whom, I now know, share strong and close similarities, as well as they do with one another. Those, despite whose apparent differences have shaped a unique identity in my mind. People filled with hatred, anxiety, peace, self-absorption, hope and despair.
My photographs depict people with stories of their true self, and show that in this age we can still look for the light within the darkness.

I’m Ali Sabouki and I was born in September 21, 1985.At an early age,I was fortunate to discover my passion for Photography and Art Design. Exploring my creativity through many different lenses,I focused and honored my artistic strengths to the services I provide my clients today.
I attended University of Arts "set design" in 2008. During my education I experienced work as a designer in cinema and theater. Although Photography is my main media, I also use other media such as music, sculpture and performance in creating my artwork. With that said my main specialty is portrait and conceptual photography. In addition,I also teach conceptual portrait photography. Photography is a passion that has taken me to where I am in life as of now. It has taken me half way across the country to where I reside now, from where I grew up where it takes me after I am done here I do not know for sure.I hope it will take me to good and better places.
