About Mohamed Hakem
I am an Egyptian Landscape and Travel photographer. My style of photography is to indulge the viewer in the essence of the place not only by capturing the beautiful sceneries but the by capturing the emotions and feelings. I prefer a photo series kind of shots that makes you part of the journey. I capture honest moments candidly and quietly; you will barely notice I was there.
I am also an Electrical Engineer who lives in Egypt and travels a lot.
Photography allowed me to see the beauty in everything, made me seek the good in the absolute bad.
