Street Photography nominee

Photographed in the medina of Essaouira, this series captures the encounter between anonymous silhouettes, weathered walls, and fleeting shadows. In black and white, the ordinary turns into a visual stage: suspended moments where the memory of place and the quiet poetry of daily life emerge in their raw simplicity.

Through this work, I seek to reveal the subtle poetry of the everyday and the way humans—whether in motion or at rest—enter into dialogue with their immediate surroundings. Each image becomes a fragment of a silent story, where the tension between light and shadow underscores both the fragility and the strength of the human condition.

Profile
Self-taught documentary and fine art photographer, I develop work centered on the ordinary, transient faces, and the memory of places. Through a humanistic and poetic approach, I aim to reveal the discreet beauty of everyday life and the relationship between people, time, and their environment.
