Born in Egypt in 1972 and based in New York, Youssef Nabil grew up in a Cairo drenched in the golden age cinema of Hollywood on the Nile: a black and white film world in which he nostalgically recalls the glamour, the ease, the elegance and the melodrama.
His photos evoke the deliciously outmoded feel of the photo-novels which accompanied the cinema at the time and highlight in each portrait the extraordinary character of his models, distinguished artists, actors, singers and friends.
