À propos

Karim Sahyoun (b.1988) is a Lebanese photographer. He spent most of his life in Egypt, then in England, and currently in Cyprus. Coming from a multicultural background, he has found himself as a photographer through self-teaching as a means to escape from the redundant and repetitive work life.

Karim is influenced by Sebastião Salgado, David Yarrow, Tyler Shields, and Platon. He mostly shoots in black and white as he believes it engages the viewer on a deeper level. When he takes a photo, he doesn't just capture a scene, he tries to capture a feeling. It is this thought process that makes his work powerful. Whether you feel the same as he does or not, it’s open to interpretation.
