Imad el Khoury, born in 1975 started his passion for photography very young while helping his uncle taking wedding portraits. Then he improved that experience into professional fields and after his graduation from high school registered in “Université St. Esprit” for a 4 year photography diploma.
During those years he developed his sense of perception for people, nature and objects surrounding him into feelings submerging in his photography work.
His professional carrier varies between advertising, architecture and fashion, working with the most important advertising agencies in Beirut and the Arab world like (Saatchi & Saatchi, LeoBurnett, Greyworldwide, Team Young and Rubicams, Promoseven, Intermarkets…). He signed his name with production houses like (Signature, Talkies, Intaj, Independent…), and Lebanese magazines (Femme magazine, Byzance, Style…).

It is to note that Imad was the first photographer in Lebanon to adopt digital professional cameras, he started with the first D1 ever introduced in Lebanon and since then set up a trend and a snowball effect amongst the professional photographic society. This fact led Imad to be a speaker for digital photography issues in Lebanon, Dubai and France.
