I am a Moroccan/British professional photographer with over 20 years experience in the craft and art of photography. My love and passion for the camera started when I first discovered my Dad’s Kodak instamatic as a child, it went on to become an interesting and wonderful career..
In 1991 I joined Richmond Upon Thames College in England for a course in photography and design.

In 2003 I returned to Morocco and founded FOTOKAM, my professional photography production company in Marrakech..

I am the first photographer in Morocco to use FUJIFILM XPRO1 camera when it was launched in 2012. In 2013 FUJIFILM JAPAN trusted me to test their prototype camera, the Fuji XT1 and the FUJINON XF23mm F1.4 lens, around the beautiful Moroccan landscapes and sceneries, two of my shots were selected and used in their commercial product brochure at the official launch of the camera. FUJIFILM TOKYO made me then their first X-Photographer to represent Morocco on their worldwide website and I was their technical adviser and workshop presenter to promote the X-SERIES camera division in Casablanca.
