Emile Maroun doesn’t plan his shots, he feels them.
A Lebanese photographer and visual storyteller, Emile (
@_e1000__ ) operates on instinct rather than storyboards, capturing intimacy in motion and vulnerability in public. Whether he’s shooting for a local label or walking Beirut’s backstreets with a camera, his images are never still; they breathe, ache, and glow with life.
For this KHAMSA-exclusive editorial, Emile Maroun strips photography down to its purest form: presence. Inspired by the haunting, almost ghost-like melancholy of Mashrou’ Leila’s song “Taxi,” Emile crafted a visual story with no script, no storyboard, and no expectations.
Just a girl walking through a noisy city, lost in her own head, and Emile following her with a camera, both of them trying to make sense of the chaos around them. Discover more on Khamsa5.com.
