Fashion photographer, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar and Bahrain
Fashion photography is a dream. Toufic Araman is a fashion photographer in Dubai whose studio caters to clients not only in Dubai, but also in Abu Dhabi,
Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Egypt. Araman is renowned for his unique style in fashion photography; where he expresses
himself through emotion and uniqueness.
His captivating and daring style in fashion photography pushes him to stand out among fashion photographers in Dubai and the Middle East. Whether it is
an editorial or a catalogue shoot, Araman as a fashion photographer prominently manages to express fashion through photography by story telling and
distinctive creative technique.
“What’s fashion photography? Those slim models gifted with a physique that can make Aphrodite blush, tickling our imagination with their feathery
eyelashes, and smiling like there is no tomorrow? No it’s not.”
Guy Bourdin, one of the best-known fashion photographers of the 20th Century, was known for trying the endurance of his models. He let them twist in
uncomfortable, surreal positions for his gloomy images. Along with another Vogue photographer, Helmut Newton, they brought a new edge in fashion
photography, conjuring the erotic and the imaginative with political and social issues. When Bourdin’s photographs were accused of overtly sexual
narratives, he said, “Don’t make me laugh, this is art!”
Araman developed his skills from studying works of those photographers. “There are no limits in photography!” He says. Fashion photography is not
predictable, rigid and impersonal like before. Occasionally we would say that those virtuosi photographers couldn’t paint, so they grabbed a camera instead.
Photographers, like Araman, are hard to pinpoint from the beginning because there must be something different, alluring and even disturbing in their work.
In Araman’s work, either commercial or conceptual, there is a story.
When you look at his photographs, you have a sudden feeling that there is something that just happened or will happen. Laws of physics are confronted in
his photographs, lines of light traveling around, models leaving ghostly traces after them, or frozen in the air or appear at two places in one time. In his
photography of food, Araman uses unusual objects. “I am trying to make a photograph that you can hang on your wall.” Often enough, according to Araman,
his food photographs are regarded as “sensual” or “sexy”.
Araman became one of Dubai's leading fashion photographers after his experience in New York City where he studied at the prestigious International School
of photography (ICP) and School of Visual Arts (SVA) for one year. His experience in the cosmopolitan city of New York was a great challenge and paved the
way for Araman becoming one of the most prominent fashion photographers in Dubai, Kuwait, Lebanon and the Middle East.
In order to successfully maintain an outstanding and sophisticated level of fashion photography, Araman works with every crewmember to reach a style of
sophistication, elegance, and mystery.
Araman manages to stand out in the world of fashion photographers in Dubai by focusing to be different and unique. He is known among the fashion
photographers in Lebanon for his artistic vision and sense of imagination.
