Credit To The Artist: Egyptian Street Photographer Karim El Hayawan

I love street photography. There is a special kind of talent in making something so broken look so beautiful. While most of our society has become so jaded that we no longer look at the stunning details in our surroundings, there are few that still do; Karim El Hayawan is one of them.

 

With a life surrounded by art and culture, he has immersed himself in showing us Egypt as well as the rest of the world through his lens, and we are loving every minute.

 

 

One of our favorites from his famous #CairoSaturdayWalks
