Some places just feel like home.
@kasbahbabourika is one of them for me.

I’ve known this place and the people behind it for years. I know so many of the faces here, the corners of the house, the changing light, the gardens, the mountains in every season. I’ve photographed it many times, stayed here many times, and somehow it has become one of those places where I instantly feel at home.

So when my dear soul sister Beatriz @minttealovers and I started imagining @mymoroccanescape , choosing the Kasbah felt almost obvious.

Morocco has been part of my life for more than twenty five years. I lived here for almost a decade and have kept coming back ever since. And at some point, I wanted to do more than photograph and tell stories about the Morocco I love. I wanted to share some of what I’ve been lucky enough to experience here: the people, the places, the craftsmanship, the food, the conversations, the unexpected moments : all those things that have made this country such a big part of my life.

And I can’t imagine a more meaningful place for My Moroccan Escape to have begun.

A little quiet here lately, but so much behind the scenes.
The past few weeks have been filled with shooting, editing, art direction, new projects taking shape and stories I’ve been busy helping others tell.
And somewhere in between all of that, life happens too.
So many images never make it here. So many things happen outside the frame.

And, apparently, still only 24 hours in a day...

Back at @kasbahbabourika.
A few days here to bring together the final details of my November retreat @mymoroccanescape and to soak up, once again, everything that made me fall in love with this place.
The light, the colours, the silence, the incredible landscape and this constant connection to nature. I couldn’t dream of a more special place to bring this retreat to life. 
This is the Morocco I love, and the one I can’t wait to share.

A portrait is often about more than the person in front of the camera.
It`s about the conversation, the trust that slowly settles in, the light, the space, and everything in between.
For this series with singer @iamalmee , @hotelballu became more than a backdrop.
She immediately felt at home there, and that sense of freedom naturally shaped the images. The colours, textures and atmosphere became part of the story.

I love creating portraits that feel less like a performance and more like a genuine moment.

And yes... the soundtrack is one of @iamalmee songs !
