Rania Deabes 🇪🇬 (@raniaadeabes) is an Egyptian street and documentary photographer drawn to fleeting, unexpected moments and the human stories they hold. She began photographing in 2019, training in documentary and street photography at Al-Wafd, an Egyptian newspaper, before the COVID-19 pandemic led her into freelance work. Colour, for Deabes, is an emotional language, an essential part of building an image and its feeling. Her photography focuses on the stories of women and children forced to work at an early age, and themes of loss, anger, and absence. She works slowly, building genuine relationships with the people she photographs.
