Food Photography Award: Salmon Sushi | Light & Composition University

Food is a huge part of my life, my parents and grand-parents were amazing cooks and my dad worked as a food critic once in the 70’s. So it was just a matter of time before I got into the Food genre and started working with restaurants and hotels. This shot was part of a series I was working on with Asian foods. I tried to bring out the tiny texture of the salmon and rice which no one usually notices when they’re eating.

Starting from a 2mp Samsung, he is now the founder of a photography & video studio based in Amman, Jordan where his time is split between his commercial day job photographing food, interior, products and portraits; and his night-time job traveling around the middle-east region capturing landscapes, the culture and his favorite genre, long-exposures of the night-sky. He is an amateur astronomer and tried to combine that with his love of photographs showcasing the beauty of the Arabian landscapes under starry nights.
