I would like to introduce you Wasim Hafez
1) Tell us a few words about yourself so that people know you?
Hi all, my name is Wasim , I am Syrian based in Hamburg primarily focusing on Street photography and telling Urban stories in cine vibes.
2) What was it that made you get involved in photography and who was it that inspired you to get more involved?
I started photography about 3 years back during my first visit to Istanbul where I found my passion for street photography and loved capturing people with their moments . Then i started following some of the style legends as Nick miller, billy dee, Paola , Andrew James , Andi and Peter Kalnbach were ams still my biggest source of inspiration. In addition to my wife who was my first supporter till now.
3) What is your biggest goal when it comes to photography? where do you want to reach?
it is simple : capturing moments and stories. And mix of documenting the surroundings. I am happy and satisfied with the progress i am having, maybe displaying my photos in a gallery will be a great step for me too.
4) What is your favorite style of photography and why and which technique do you like the most and why?
Street photography is my favourite as i like to document those human stories especially when they intersect with external elements. Creating them with cine vibes is what i like because i find cinematography so impactful and can deliver many messages.
5) What would you like to say to someone who is just starting photography, what first advice would you give?
Practice and practice and keep shooting. The best camera is the one that’s with you.
I feel really lucky that i have "met" Wasim through IG because i truly admire his work. Wish someday to meet him in person cos i believe he is a really nice personality and have fun time with photography at night!
