Basra Egyptian Movie
Basra is a brand new film by Egyptian director Ahmed Rashwan. The film’s name means snap. “basra” is the word Egyptians use in card games when two players have the same card. It’s also used in every day life when two people think the same thing or say the same word etc. read more »
Egyptian film posters
These amazing examples of vintage and colourful posters truly reflected the state of Egyptian cinema in the “good old days”. Not only did Egyptian cinema represent a thriving and creative industry, where talent and creativity naturally flourished, but it also showed an amazing attention to detail. Today’s films are bland at best and awful, uninspiring, lacking on the talent front and quite frankly criminal, if we’re being completely honest. The posters speak for themselves. This was an era when only talent and creativity made it. When vision was appreciated and implemented for all the world to see and cinema goers to enjoy.

The way it works..
You look better in my photos! Seriously, you do.. All of you!
They might tell you photography is about light, framing, camera, depth of field.. but I will assure you that it's about how you see people. The camera for some reason I haven't found out yet captures people the way I see them.
I check photos I took of some friends compared to their other photos and I see a difference.. they alway look more radiant in mine. As if I can get a soul print of how I perceive them.
My beloved friends.. I'm always happy to be of service .. as long as you call me your "Official Photographer".. nothing less ;)
