Mariam Zaki Photography

From a young age, I have been drawn to the art of photography. I am captivated by the way that images can capture a moment in time and evoke powerful emotions. Photography gives me a way to hold onto my mother’s memory and to feel connected to her even though she is gone. Her passing left a gaping hole in my heart, and I found solace in the memories that were captured in family photographs. With every photograph I take, I pour my heart and soul into capturing the essence of the moment and preserving it for a lifetime.

My work is characterized by its emotional depth and its ability to tell a story. I have a keen eye for detail and a knack for capturing the essence of a moment, whether it’s the joy of a bride on her wedding day or the wonder of a child exploring the world. For me, every photograph is an opportunity to create something beautiful and meaningful that will touch people’s lives in a profound way.
