Born in Awali, Bahrain, I spent my early years growing up in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and the US before my parents settled in the UK when I was nine. Since the mid-90s, I’ve lived in South Devon, working full-time as a freelance photographer for the last decade. Memory, displacement, family, identity, and loss have been central themes in my artistic practice since early on.
In 2024, I completed my MA in Photography with Distinction from Falmouth University. My project, Awali, was shortlisted for the Athens Photo Festival, and I was selected for Source Graduate Photography Online. I’ve published two zines: We Tell Ourselves Stories and Awali, the latter of which received a special mention at the Urbanautica Institute Awards in 2023.
My earlier career began in medical photography, where I worked in the UK and Saudi Arabia. This followed my studies at Nottingham Trent Polytechnic, where I earned a BA (Hons) in Photography after completing a two-year foundation course in Art and Design at Chesterfield College.
