About me

I’m Maryam Abdulghaffar. I picked up my first camera at the age of 9 years old, and have been attached to it ever since. I love capturing the true essence of things and showcase them through my lens.

My curious nature and passion for photography landed me some unique opportunities to showcase my work and be part of some exciting projects. My earliest exposure was when I was undergoing my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Toledo (USA) (2009-2013), I was selected to complete a three months photography program of which, I was able to land three independent photography projects at Ohio State. I was selected to enter the American Film show case to film documentaries and I was trained to become a film director.

My goal, is to continue creating art behind the camera!
