Given my background in Anthropology, I am interested in practicing an in-depth documentary style of photography. I love covering stories related to issues of gender, migration, human rights, and class. I'm currently based in Cairo, but have worked on projects in Abkhazia and Jordan as well.
Maha and her daughter Maya sit together in a Russian language class in Abkhazia, where they both now live after having to flee Syria.
Amira Marzouk is the sole breadwinner in her family. Originally from Damascus, she has called Cairo home since the start of the Syrian crisis. She lives with her five children and her husband, who due to a debilitating illness, is unable to work. In this photo, Amira is video-chatting with her mother during her daughter, Rinad's engagement party.
