I've always been drawn to many artistic fields at once, like music, reading, video games, cooking, and lately sport. Sometimes one passion makes me forget the others. But the camera is the one I come back to every single day.

It all started between 2003 and 2005 in Ben Ahmed, the town where I grew up, with Hicham, my best friend at the time. Then came Casablanca, a much bigger city, where I spent my days circling around Derb Ghalef and saving every penny for a Canon Mark II, my holy grail back then.

In 2016 I moved to France for my engineering studies. Life got more demanding, and studies and work had to come first.

Today I'm more involved in music, but the spark for photography is still there. This website is my attempt to revive it. To give these images a place to be seen and explored, to push myself to put more energy into it and, hopefully, to recover the archives still sleeping on old SATA hard drives.
