Who is holding the camera

Malek Larif

One person. One eye. No print farm in the middle.

I shoot landscapes, wildlife, cities, and things smaller than a coin, which is more than most photographers will admit to. The reason is simple. I am not loyal to a subject. I am loyal to the light, and the light turns up in a canola field, a jellyfish tank, and a balcony in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Everything on this site is mine. I took it, I edited it, I print it, and I am the one who puts it in the box.

Dark work is half of what I care about. Blue hour, night, lightning, things that only exist when most people have gone inside. Those prints get a paper chosen for shadow depth and a proof checked by eye, every time.

If you write to me, you get me. Not a shop assistant reading from a script. Ask about any photograph here and I will tell you where I was standing.
