‘Uncovered’ beauty story for @paper magazine In today’s world focused on search of identity and self-discovery Muslim women are often disregarded. However, when most of your body is covered from prying eyes, your face becomes the centre of attention and, most importantly, self-expression. Bold makeup, glowing skin and alluring eyelashes - all framed by a field of another bold colour - make a strong statement and say more than any fancy clothing item ever could. .

Think of this not as a photograph of me, but as a photograph of a painted portrait of me. Of me not real, but me as a part of a painting. Could this be an augmented reality of a photograph? . #selfportraitphotography #fineartphotography #paintedportrait #augmentedrealityart

I’m grateful for being able to work with clients whose design and creativity inspire me. I truly cherish when my clients and I are on the same page. As well as when I co-create with my team and we all support each other. There has definitely been not enough shoots with a full team over the last year and I really miss that feeling of creative exchange and comradeship. Thank you for having me @nayarea Thank you @laura.onea for always having my back... Thank you @akikohairs for your perfectionism Thank you @kristie.lai for your positive energy and beauty (inside and out) . #fashionphotographylife #fashionphotographerlondon #lookbookphotography #lookbookphotographylondon #editorialphotographerlondon See more
