Youssef Nabil is an Egyptian photographer currently living and working in New York. He started his photography career in 1992 by staging tableaux in which his friends acted out melodramas recalling film stills from the golden age of Egyptian cinema. Later in the 1990s, while working as a photographers' assistant in prominent studios in New York and Paris, he began photographing artists and friends. Nabil's distinctive technique of hand-colouring silver gelatine removes the blemishes of reality. In 2010, he exhibited his first film "You Never Left", with Fanny Ardant and Tahar Rahim. Nabil's work has been exhibited worldwide: in London, New York, Paris, Doha, Dubai, Mexico City - to name but a few places.
