OUR STORY WITH PHOTOGRAPHY PASSION
Am originally an architect, with a hidden photography passion. my story began with a love of arts at the age of three when I was photographing with my father’s 24 photo kodak camera. Of course, I photograph family photos in the resort and trips were very simple and primitive, but It was my first experience in holding this strange box.
My love of arts, in general, continued from drawing, painting, and coloring to accompanying my different age stages. I was always one of the lucky ones who eagerly participate in art education classes and its various projects until I graduated from high school to fly after that to the College of Engineering, which I could not resist the beauty of the projects of the students of the architectural department. And oh my God, how wonderful it was.
For those who do not know, architecture is called the mother of the arts, and they are absolutely right in that. I loved my college and excelled in it, thank God. We used to spend most of our time there, mixing all arts with architecture from photography, coloring, drawing, and even sculpture and shaping, and I shined among my colleagues with that camera that She did not leave me in my projects, and in my pictures, which drew the attention of my teachers, and they praised her with admiration.
But fate has in store for me a pleasant surprise that I did not know the value of until many years later. That surprise was a visit to the studio of the wonderful photographic artist Hossam Diab, who later became the head of the Photographers Division at the Syndicate of Journalists.
And for the first time in my life, I was impressed, yes I was fascinated by the studio equipment with the number of distinctive pictures that almost speak and tell the story of their owners. Not only was all of this that fascinated me, but there was a picture, yes, one picture right in front of the entrance. With full height and width of the wall, she shook my being violently every time I saw her.
That picture was of an African Bedouin from West Africa, he was very angry looking at the picture with great defiance and anger emanating from his eyes towards me. I know that Bedouin was seeing photographer Hossam Diab for the first time, and he saw a black box in his hand, put it on his eye, and aimed it at him, so the Bedouin, who had not seen the camera in his life, thought that he was facing a wizard aiming at him a scary black box, from which strange sounds emanated, he must be here to spend him or to harm him? (In fact, this Bedouin actually ran towards Hossam Diab to hurt him, had it not been for the intervention of the accompanying guide and translator)
This particular photo and those repeated visits to the studio raised in me many questions about the relationship of art to life, and about the relationship of human feelings to time, camera and art in general.
And so that life would continue after that and I would graduate a young architect full of enthusiasm and art, and the days and years would pass from work to work, marriage and childbirth, and distance and proximity to art in general and photography in particular, exactly five years passed before the wedding day of one of my close friends came, the wedding night was a beautiful summer and the wedding party In the open air with the charming night breezes of Cairo, and while everyone exchanged congratulations and memorial photos, one of the attendees asked me to photograph a group of invited guests with his own camera, and at that time I met my lover again. From him, unless he told me (He stomped on this button while she was photographing) his words hurt my heart severely, but I did not tell him, and I photographed what he asked for and started thinking…
Oh my God, how did I stay away from photography and cameras for all these years? Has it really been five years since I didn’t hold my camera? Five years I didn’t take a picture? And what is this modern camera that I was holding? Should i know?
After that night, I set out like an arrow in the direction of photography, and for years and years I spent teaching this art and applying its principles and foundations with love, and admiration, yes I learned for years continuously at the hands of experts in this science in both America and Britain through paid courses via the Internet. And I am still increasing my scientific results from this sea day after day, month after month, and year after year.
Later I launched my photography studio in May of 2018, after a long time I was apologized for charging any fee for my photos to anyone I photographed. it was not easy to transform it from a hobby to a business, thanks to the Passion to Profit Group and its experienced founder, Engineer Mohamed Tohamy, who helped and guide me in this journey full of fear, passion and enthusiasm.
Today, with an experience of fifteen years in the field of visual and architectural arts, I offer you creative photography & videography services at EGH Studio especially in Headshot, Personal Branding, and Family Photography, with many photographic options that are carefully designed to suit your different needs.
As for the
Nowadays Headshot is the natural development of the art of portraiture in the era of digital and social media, it is a modern photographic art that combines the art of portrait and the art of commercial photography. Headshot lies in marketing the customer’s image and telling people about its importance. The customer in itself is the product that we seek to increase people’s knowledge and acceptance of, and then increase their dealings with him, and thus increase the customer’s sales and profits.
On another hand, the second area that I am happy to offer to my clients is family photography.
this field occupies a special place in my heart. As a father of five children, I think that I have been able to build a good experience in dealing with these young people with a sensitive sense and their endless charming games (this is what I hope). I tend to reflect the family photography that I take of the lives of these children without exaggeration, or a change in reality. It makes my photographic task more difficult, but the impressive results of their photos are worth the effort, patience, and insistence on this approach.
Today, at EGH studio, we strive to provide our customers with everything in media word that supports their professional carer, commercial & marketing material, and of course saving the best moment in their Family life.
If you have reached here, let me greet you for that, and I hope this story has inspired any of you to take the first steps towards realizing his passion or to be patient with his ambitions.
