are close to my heart. Be mindful with <strong>the</strong> world<br />
around <strong>the</strong> stories of my protagonists.<br />
My principles of producing work<br />
are to create something honest <strong>and</strong><br />
personal, but also that defies stereotypes<br />
inflicted upon female Egyptian<br />
photographers, to not be defined as<br />
“<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r” or "exotic", <strong>and</strong> instead to<br />
build bridges <strong>and</strong> to show that, in <strong>the</strong><br />
end, we are all somehow <strong>the</strong> same.<br />
Don’t hesitate about taking a photo just because<br />
it may be uncomfortable. Trust your intuition that<br />
some things are important to just do, even if you<br />
don’t yet know why. Always bring a camera <strong>and</strong><br />
enough space on your SD card.<br />
How can<br />
artists reframe<br />
ecological<br />
problems as<br />
an adventure?<br />
Always be au<strong>the</strong>ntic <strong>and</strong> honest. Be<br />
self-aware in <strong>the</strong> process: know why<br />
you’re doing a project. Never let fear<br />
stop you. Trust your instincts.<br />
