Dek Unu Magazine- Ismail Jaddi

Whether it’s kids at play, a man in solemn contemplation, a street scene in a splash of light, Moroccan photographer Ismail Jaddi places images in a frame—pictorial space observed and clarified by an artist’s eye. Beyond its design, each image tells a human story, seen and shaped by the artist’s empathetic understanding. Although genre labels are tricky, this series pairs with the photography international street and documentary style photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Fan Ho, and Maggie Steber; Jaddi’s photographs prove that street photography is much more than pix snapped in the street and that the tourist’s view of “exotic Morocco” is far removed from the photographer’s view of “home.”
