Beyrouth | Beirut Book

Capturing street-corner vendors and grocers, parking-lot attendants, fishermen, bather and street artists, past and future constructions but also buildings in a state of collapse, Fadia Ahmad expresses the complex cohabitations in the world of today. Her photographs, conceived like paintings, are images of Beirut, of partition, of difference, of her feelings. They are fragments of a life just as they are fragments of a city.

Fadia Ahmad is a Lebanese award-winning photographer and filmmaker. Born in Spain, she later returned to Lebanon in 1991. She graduated from Saint Joseph University with a BA in Cinematography and Film Production where she mastered the art of photography. She is primarily known for series of portraits and landscapes in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. She is currently based between Beirut and Paris.
