SCENT OF JASMINE

Photography by Toronto Photographer Maha Munaf

Our 2016 SCOTIABANK CONTACT PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL Exhibition

Scotia Bank CONTACT Photography Festival

May 5-28, 2016

Artist Statement

Photography is a way to tell a story and evoke a feeling. I utilize my camera as a tool to create imagery that awakens a deeper meaning beyond the obvious visual: an object through texture, a person through gesture or a place through light. My focus is bringing my subjects from ordinary to extraordinary.

Bio

Maha Munaf graduated as an Architect in Jordan in 2004. Being a female photographer in a conservative society was challenging, but Maha took her camera and captured images from colorful India all the way to the Everest Heights. "There are so many places to explore and stories to be told."
