Welcome to "40 Years In The Life Of A Viewfinder", my official website. This is a retrospective of my favorite images from the mid 60s to date, which I'd like to share with you all image lovers: artists, collectors, art professionals or amateurs, interior designers, art galleries, busy pros or dreamers alike. As a commercial photographer for almost four decades - or maybe because of that should I say ? - I have always made it a point to find time to create my very own personal images, to look, see, appreciate, and then try to bring out the quintessence of what I see and feel through that tiny piece of glass commonly referred to as a viewfinder, but that I'd rather call the "Magic Window". There are so many things around us, way out there or just right here, which too often and quite unfortunately go totally unnoticed. Portraits, Beauty, Fashion, Architecture, Landscapes, Objects... everything that whispers to my senses "Look at me", that is what tickles my creative juices. I've been said to have an eye for beauty, well... I'm sure I'm not alone ! Give it a shot, you'll be amazed at what you can find !
In addition to my personal work, I'm proud to share with you a special gallery dedicated to that of my talented photography students at the American University of Beirut.
¡ Virtuose de la « photo musicale », celle qui allie composition, rythme et orchestration des couleurs... Zéna Zalzal ¡ With a true artist’s eye, Nader’s photographs make powerful statements devoid of any sentimentality. Henry Bateman ¡ Des images d’une pureté quasi palpable, comme le «granulé» de ce tambourin «oriental», placé devant un vitrail, pris à contre-jour... Natacha Sikias ¡ A new height for fine art photography in Lebanon... Marwan Sabban ¡ Images étonnantes et précieuses où les marbres, les bois et les cuivres se marient dans le même raffinement, sous le signe tutélaire de l'art. Hervé Le Goff ¡ I really appreciate your love for beauty, the capacity to keep simple and essential with a light hint of "Van Gogh" in shading and waving the details through a soft game of luci ed ombre, and a remarkable capacity to grab details of our everyday life. Barbara Caron ¡ Quelle limpidité dans le regard, quel érotisme dans la discrétion... Rafic Boustani ¡ Words cannot describe the beauty of your work... Emmanuelle Geoffrey ¡ I miss a lot your photography course at AUB, rich in peaceful moments of contemplation and experimentation. You enlarged our aperture of sensitivity to the beauty and purity of imperceptible details found in our surrounds. I’ll be eagerly waiting for the upcoming exhibition of your graceful and profound work of art. nada Nada Abi Zeid ¡ Breathtaking. Your pictures are so inspiring, they are like images from a dream. Love you work... Eliane ¡ Hi Marc, your website made my day. I just spent an hour looking at the photos you have there; they are wonderful! It made me wanna go back to Lebanon ... Thank you for sharing them with us, it was a great pleasure. Marc Harik ¡ It's the first time I see your work and I was so touched by the beauty of the photography. Your pictures look like paintings ! Diane Abdel Khalek
