The Journal
The city of light, is how we also call Paris. It’s a city where the sun is making a special ambiance on the Haussman styled city. She light is pointing out what is beautiful, but also marks the objects which makes Paris so special with shadows. Since I discovered the power of these shadows, I’m looking differently to light. And as you know me, I have to take a photo it. Because it’s just very very beautiful in it’s own way. To be continued…
Ever since I joined the Sakina Paris team, I have been photographing inside the atelier besides being Sakina’s assistant. This week we planned a special photoshoot: a digital and printed article for ELLE Arabia. Lucky me, Sakina wanted me to take her portraits. Our lovely make-up artist Nora Kourkis from Sweden joined us for the shooting day, and created the most beautiful make up on Sakina.
Photographing and filming are two jobs close to each other. Sakina gave me the chance to edit the video, even though I had no experience in editing. The video is filmed by Manuel Laurent, and the interview is filmed by me.
You can read the article (in Arabic) here.

P.s. We are proudly organizing Sakina’s debut at Beirut Fashion Week in Libanon!
Parfum has always been a mystery for me. It’s definitely an art of aesthetic and will characterize the person. Buly 1803 is a parfum house based in the 6th arrondissement in Paris. The moment I walked in, the staff welcomed me friendly to this historic and absolutely beautiful store. The parfumes smell amazing and it made me want to buy one. The lovely assortiment of oils, candles and other products are also available on their website, which is in both French and English (smart move, Buly 😉 ) I’m in love with the store; the decor, the friendly staff, the quality of the products, the classical music and of course, the parfum.

One day, my friend Margarita showed me this lovely restaurant. I was immediately impressed by the interior. An exotic ambiance made me come back this weekend to photograph this place with my Canon camera. Typically French cafés and restaurants are very beautiful, but I also like places as this one. You can see that an interior designer designed this restaurant. It’s located on the Grand Boulevard and it has a lovely terrace too!

Everyday I’m walking to the atelier and back. It’s a 45 minutes walk and I’m crossing Saint Germain des Près and other lovely areas. This little park-corner called Square Gabriel Pierné became so beautiful when the blossom trees start blooming. The sunlight, blue sky and the light buildings and the top of Institut de France in the background makes the perfect setting.
