You will discover some of Beirut Prints' photographers (Ghadi Smat, Tanya Traboulsi, Mazen Jannoun, Lara Zankoul), specially in Saifi Village through "La jeune photographie libanaise" show.

Later in January, amateur and professional photographers will be welcomed to a workshop hosted by Bilal from LollipopArt. All details here. Adobe profiles, color correction, image processing, white balance... You'll learn everything you need to learn. See you there!

Beirut Prints is happy to export its fine art photo collection! Starting November 14, some of our limited edition photographs will be available in London in the framework of Al Souk - the best of Arab design & art. The very first edition of this event will take place at the Graffik Gallery in Notting Hill (until November 21), and then at  the famous Tabernacle from November 25 to December 1.

Now based between Lebanon and Italy, Mazen is continuing through the medium of photography for highlighting environmental and social problems for a better chance of improvement. "Watercolor" shows the north and south of Lebanon under the theme that everyone shares the same dreams and hopes.
