Born in Beirut and based in the Netherlands, photographer Abed Halawi captures the timeless charm of urban life, focusing on the dynamic interplay between people and architecture. Each shot is a poetic tribute, revealing the hidden beauty and rhythm woven into everyday environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Abed Halawi: I\u2019ve always felt a deep urge to express myself visually. Drawn to moments when a place or scene would seize my attention and stir something within me. These experiences often left me with a lingering sense that something was incomplete as if I needed. To capture the essence of those fleeting moments. Whether it was the sight of a striking building, the beauty of a cityscape, or the layers of nature unfolding on a mountaintop. I found myself captivated by the strange and the beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vibrant streets and their quirks always sparked something in me, though\u2014I didn\u2019t realize it was photography I yearned for. An art that would allow me to capture, express, and complete those feelings. It wasn\u2019t until I began taking photos in 2019 that I discovered this passion. And only in late 2023 did I decide to fully commit, dedicating time to honing my skills. And embarking on the journey to find my unique style, which remains elusive but within reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am largely self-taught, having complemented my learning with personal mentorship and extensive practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first shot was taken on September 4, 2013, during my first travel trip to Berlin, Germany. It was a close-up of the majestic horses at the Brandenburg Gate in Pariser Platz. Captured from a low angle that emphasized their grandeur and filled the frame with their imposing presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My current gear is a Leica Q with a fixed 28mm lens, a highly capable tool that integrates into my workflow. Its design allows me to focus on the creative aspects of my photography while providing all the essential data needed to process and perfect each image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
