About me

Hello there! I’m Hisham Khonji, and I'm a passionate photographer based in Dubai. Photography has been an interest of mine for over 20 years, but my love for street photography has taken hold in the last Six years.

Photography is more than just a hobby to me; it's a passion that I love to share with others. I often go on photowalks with friends and other photographers who share my enthusiasm for street photography. Additionally, I enjoy the post-processing stage where I bring out the best in my images.

As a photographer, I believe in visualizing a scene before it happens and waiting for the perfect moment to capture a shot that tells a story or evokes emotions. I'm always chasing the light, and although black and white photography is my forte, I like to experiment with color as well.

Besides street photography, I'm also exploring candid street photography and portraiture, putting my own spin on these genres and developing my unique style.
