Patyl Astrid Photography

From Old Masters to contemporary art, I have always been enthusiastic about the world of art and grew to be an avid painter myself. My passion for photography began after graduating from Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London. One day, I acquired a professional camera. I traveled the streets of my hometown, Beirut, snapping everything and anything that caught my eye or made a beautiful subject in space. Since then, capturing beautiful moments and images in time continues to thrill me.

I am inspired by the stillness and grandeur of Mother Nature, as well as the richness and drama of people and the circumstances of their lives. In a fellow photographer’s words: “I am a photographer who is a writer and a writer who is a photographer.”

I hope you enjoy my work and my writing.
