The Fallen

Taken on the Batroun coastline of Lebanon back in May 2021.

We originally set out on a 7 week trip working alongside and fundraising for the Beirut Heritage Initiative in regards to August's Blast in 2020. As well as working closely with locals to produce and shoot for a book all about lebanese architecture and how its adapted the wars, revolution, and recent blast. This book will be available to collect at the end of this year and all proceeds go to Live Love Beirut. We connected with locals, businesses and galleries and heard many heartbreaking and inspiring stories which not only leaves you feeling incredibly humble but pushes you to do more as someone who is able to do more..

Lebanon is a country like no other. Despite its madness, there's an abundance of beauty, resilience and hospitality that the other 32 countries I've been too simply don't compare.

Its a country I've fallen for, with people who are some of the most beautiful people you'll ever meet, and one day Lebanon will be the "Paris of the Middle East" once again.
