The following pictures are a collection of memories through the travels of Jamila Khalifa , a photographer who’s work is influenced by cinema and the dramatic framing and lighting.
She loves framing her characters alone surrounded by the atmosphere of a place, she loves the idea of not being alone but being alone though the nature is always there for her characters.
Which gives contrast to the idea of the photo overall,but yet a bit sad.
however In the end No one is really alone.

His design draws from a blend of Egyptian folk art, the aesthetic of Egyptian postage stamp designs, and elements of Islamic art.
