Photographer Takes A Jab At Typical Magazine Covers

ADVERTISEMENT

I guess I got tired of seeing fashion or beauty Magazines and their Covers. I tried to understand the fascination with being featured in a magazine. I loved the visual art part of it, but I couldn’t find the actual content. I realized that I wasn’t the only one when I saw a video where the ads were removed from a 160-page magazine and were left were 40 pieces of content.

But what about the people that are glorified? Who were they? And what do they have to offer? Through my work, I meet a lot of regular people and a few celebrities from time to time. I try to get to know everyone on a slightly deeper level before we shoot so I can incorporate their personality and story into the image. But there’s always this one segment of the population, the one that you regularly see on our magazine that I couldn’t get any content out of in real life.

So here’s a little set incorporating the magazine aesthetic that I love but with content that you probably were thinking about yourself but would never see in an actual Magazine Cover.

Photographer | Creative Thinker | Entrepreneur Hi there. So you’ve made it this far and want to know a little about me. You’re probably expecting some really well thought out tagline about how I can bring your vision to life at a reasonable budget, right? Well, that doesn’t do much, so let me tell you my story. I live in the United Arab Emirates, born and raised here actually. The first thing everyone asks is usually where I’m from and I never answer that on our first date. I might tell you over a cup of coffee later though. I’m a Chemical Engineer by education, started my career working in the oil industry and slowly discovered my love for photography. I’ve had the opportunity to work with the finest establishments in the entertainment industry, talented local artists and international legends passing through the UAE, and some of the coolest fashion brands out here. I hate to name drop in conversation so there’s a client list on my home page. My journey got recognised by Fujifilm Middle East and I am honoured to call myself an Official Fuji-X-Photographer. That’s me in a nutshell. I do urge you to get in touch with me regardless of how big or small your project is or even if you’ve just got an idea that you want to kick around. I’d love to talk.
