About

The Photographer

In 2006, Lebanese photographer Karim Sakr experienced a gradual loss of vision. Following a successful treatment, he regained his sight through therapeutic seaside walks, capturing the beauty of Beirut through a phone camera. With a background in agro-engineering, he switched to full time photography freelancing in 2016. His body of work mainly encompasses street photography, architecture and food.
