fagr

it's taken me a while to post about this because it's taken me a while to process how massive and transformative this experience was. 6 months ago, i took a production job because i was hungry for an in - i just wanted any excuse to be on a set, and i was determined to make that happen. ​and to say i exceeded expectations is an understatement because even i didn't think i had this in me - but i did, and then some. from scouting and sourcing, to contracting and chasing, to building and furnishing, to feeding and sheltering, and THEN SOME - i managed the p*cci out of this location/basecamp of over 150 very different, very hangry people and their many many machines, in an environment that tested every single limit (+ the freezing desert didn't help). one of the most valuable lessons i learned from this experience is what it means to have the right people by your side to help you put out all the fires and survive to tell the tale. ​thank you to my sisters, @aminaabdelhalim for believing in me more than i did, and for always championing my voice, @ayaelsharkaoui for inspiring me to listen to what my heart needs and chase my dreams, and @manaraibrahim for always being there for me, even when it's difficult. and thank you to my parents for supporting me taking jobs that pay nothing but mean everything to me. campaign material from @carlijnjacobs and @camillemiceli for @emiliopucci spring/summer 2026 + archival material from me for laughs

growing pains so posting this to remind myself what it felt like to be on that roof that night - exhausted, freezing, but grateful and immensely humbled by @hendsabry 's presence - moved to tears. i worked really hard to be able to be in rooms, on roofs, like this one - on the margins, in the trenches (getting coffee orders), just grateful to be there. i barely got to see any of the magic happening, but i caught glimpses of it that i clung and cling to to keep pushing through more of what i thought i would never be able to do. it was the cold, the stress, the hunger for fantasy that felt finally within reach, coupled with her poise, her power - all i needed was those few minutes i saw her turn it on - and her smile when it was over. i believe in magic because moments like this make all the challenges and frustration worth while. here's to more mass appeal 💖 February cover for @gqmiddleeast Talent: Hend Sabry Head of Editorial Content: @aminejreissaty Art Director: @rashidbabiker Visuals Editor: @ankitaachandra Editorial Assistant: @anchthawani Photographer: @mazenabusrour Director: @mahmoudsalama.dir DOP: @ashraf_salahh Photography Assistant: @santihendrix Stylist: @nadakhedrr Production: @snapfourteen Producer: @nadiaeldasher Makeup Artist: @agneshkah Hair Stylist: @mostafa_hany_gaber Styling Assistants: @ahdamr__ , @mightyamr Hair Styling Assistants: Eslam Friska, Abdelrahman Ghana Senior Production Coordinator: @yayacollective_ Production Coordinator: @shrouqfathyyy Production Assistants: @_madihaashryy , @fx.grrr Props: Calibernco Location @gizapalacecairo

jam nights @thethirdplaceeg this was my first time covering an event as a videographer and i was so intimidated! but getting to be in the middle of some really masterful music making was so hot! - (literally, i was sweating but i had such a great time!) for the edit, i knew i wanted to honor the communal energy i felt that night by telling a more long-form story with a beginning, middle and end. let me know how i did! thank you the to the whole team and all the musicians for making my night memorable 💖 filmed and edited by me for @mazraanetwork , good sound recorded by @khalidalqasher
