Aly Hazzaa is a documentary and street photographer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Globe and Mail. His photography has been exhibited internationally, including People are the Red Line, Cairo – New Testimonies of an Ongoing Revolution (Germany, 2012–2013), and Shoof (2014). He has also served as a judge for photography competitions. Hazzaa’s practice is guided by the interplay between beauty and ugliness, using these contrasts to construct layered visual narratives. His images reveal moments of humanity, passion, and resilience within the everyday. In 2011, during the Egyptian revolution, Hazzaa’s commitment to documenting truth and freedom marked a decisive moment in his trajectory. This experience led him to transition from a career in mechanical engineering to fully dedicating himself to photography.
