hey hey!

I’m Douae Maarouf! I've been weaving stories into every frame since I first got my hands on a DSLR camera at the age of 12. My passion for storytelling began even earlier, though. Growing up, I crafted fictional tales to entertain my siblings, swapped endless stories with friends, and sketched out comic adventures that brought fantastical worlds to vivid life. Today, I channel that same imaginative spirit through my photography.

My work spans heartfelt portraits, raw documentary-style travel photography, and vibrant event coverage. Each photograph I take is more than just a snapshot; it's a chapter of a larger narrative, a moment caught in time that tells a profound story about its subjects.

I believe that true magic happens when we're able to capture the genuine emotions and fleeting details that define us. I’m here to create beautiful, meaningful images but also to become a part of your journey, understanding your story as deeply as my own.

Let's connect and start crafting your visual narrative together. I look forward to not just being your photographer, but also a friend who celebrates and preserves the moments that matter most to you!
