Created for people who believe the world becomes richer when we look beyond first impressions.

Genesis brings together 104 photographs made across Iran, Iraqi Kurdistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel and Jordan.

Rather than focusing on politics, the images explore everyday life: moments of play, doing groceries, going to work and gathering with family and friends.

The people in these photographs remain strangers.

Yet something about them feels recognizable.

Through simplicity, space and observation, Genesis becomes more than a photography book.

It becomes a moment to slow down, look longer and rediscover the subtle connections that exist between people everywhere.

Genesis is self-published and exclusively available online.
