Not long ago, I came across Bassel Alzaro and Karim Rihan’s YouTube channel called “El-Podcasters”. They interview all kinds of guests, mostly celebrities/public figures from the Middle East, since the duo comes from the media industry. I’ve listened to many interviews and thus decided to share my favourite and most inspiring ones.

Two summers ago, I planned a photoshoot with a fashion influencer I hadn’t seen in three years. She was telling me how nice the pictures I had recently posted on Instagram were. She looked pleasantly surprised. When I thanked her for the compliment, she asked me, “How are your pictures nicer? Did you buy a new camera?” I happily replied, “No, I became a better photographer.”
For the longest time, I feared not improving as a photographer. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to say that I am a professional photographer because, first, hello imposter syndrome, and second, I don’t take photos for a living. I only do it for my family and friends, for artistic purposes, or simply for fun. But I’ve come a long way since my first photoshoot. What makes a good photographer, you wonder? Here are a few things I learned.

It was an honour for me to meet Michelle Rempel, the current Official Opposition Critic for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, during a conference on Canadian immigration. She is an inspiration for all, and her energy and optimism are very contagious. She is the definition of being young, working hard, and accomplishing goals. Here is my article, from the El Ressala Journal, about the conference held on June 3rd.

Tourism in Egypt has been on the low since the Arab Spring and even before. Every year it’s becoming worse. Before leaving Canada for my three-week trip to Egypt this year, I knew I was going to write about the country, but it’s only after those three weeks that I decided to orient my article towards tourism. I am aware that this article won’t change anything about Egyptian tourism, but my goal is to let people know that Egypt is a safe place for tourists. It is one of the most beautiful countries of the world, not just because of its history, but also because of its hidden treasures and wonderful people. I hope that sharing my love for Egypt will change people’s perception about it and make them want to catch the first available flight. Thank you so much for reading my articles so far and hope you’ll enjoy this one! 🙂
Please read here and share it! Thank you 😀
