Sabir Elmouakil

Originally from Morocco, more precisely from the city of the arts Essaouira, I grew up among painters and poets.

Cradled by the winds of Mogador, between the narrow streets, I learned to stop time by capturing faces, colors and stories.

Over 20 years working as an official photographer for some of Morocco’s biggest festivals,

and major communications agencies, international companies and many other private clients.

Now, living in DMV area,

I offer my services and expertise to all those who wish to achieve exceptional results.
