Meet the 22 Year-Old Photographer Infiltrating Egypt's Underground Music

When we decided to search for and spotlight the next generation of impactful #Egyptians for a special new series, GAMECHANGER-Z, we went to the guys who know Gen Z more than most - Teen Times. We wanted them to tell us who they felt embodied the authenticity, subversity, diversity, and self-acceptance that are the aspirational hallmarks of Gen Z, and together we set out to tell some amazing new stories.

In this episode, the spotlight is on Ahmed Tarek, a photographer who, despite admittedly being a relative newbie to the game, has formed a repertoire of projects well beyond his 22 years of age. While his work with some of Egypt’s biggest agencies certainly speaks volumes of his raw talent, it’s his unique documentation of Egypt’s underground music scene and his creative collaborations with the likes of trap music trailblazer, Wegz, that have made him one of the most in-demand photographers in the country.
