“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul.If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from, it’s where you take them to.’”

Adham is a photographer who has a brilliant sense for composition. He weaves very impressive visions from his daily life in Alexandria. He has a great curiosity and his eye catches a lot of beauty in daily scenes which normal people would not have even noticed. Through his lens, a piece of leaf starts singing, a gentleman on the street starts telling stories and night lights delivering beautiful dramas. His photography is not only visually good, but also it has temperature and sounds. I am always enjoying to see his world of photography advancing, and I am very much pleased to be a close brother of him. Thank you Adham for always inspiring me with your beautiful sense.
