A Portrait of Karim Amer Studio - Karim Amer

Born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt, I’m now based in New Jersey, traveling whenever I can for the love of exploring and discovering new places.

Photography and film have always been a huge part of my life. No matter what season of life I was navigating, creating art was always at the center of it. In a past life, I was a veterinarian, but I left it behind to pursue art full-time—and I’ve never looked back.

When I was a child, I was asked on my birthday to choose between a Walkman or a camera. I chose the camera—and the rest, as they say, is history.
