Portrait series · Morocco · Mar 2025

Souls of Marrakesh

A quiet look at how people carry themselves in a city built on movement, negotiation, and ritual.

Souls of Marrakesh

Faces and spaces between noise and stillness.

The series moves between crowded streets and quiet corners, following moments of stillness inside a very busy place. Instead of chasing spectacle, the focus is on posture, gesture, and the tension between being seen and just passing by.

Most of the portraits were made in brief encounters. A glance, a nod, a shared pause, before everyone kept moving again.

Portrait in Marrakesh

A brief pause in the medina. Most conversations lasted less than a minute, but the way people stood, looked, or waited often said more than the words.
