A Life in Images
My name is Lahcen. I am a photographer and I see life through light, texture and emotion. I capture the moments that find me.
I was born in the Dades Valley, where nature, silence and creativity met. From a young age, I created with my hands shapes, colors, clothing. When I moved to the Netherlands at 21 to study at the Vogue Academy, I bought my first camera to document my designs. Soon I realized that photography was not my choice, it chose me.
After years in the Netherlands, I returned to Marrakech to fully follow my passion. I worked alongside inspiring photographers and brands, learning not just how to shoot but how to see.
My photography is spontaneous and real. Every glance can become a photograph. I capture life as it is, pure and true. Photography is my therapy, my freedom, my way of staying connected to the world and to myself.
My work reflects light, emotion and authenticity, from Morocco to Ibiza, from stillness to motion.
