Hello Steemit.
I can openly say that it was a long long trip for me to reach here, literally !
I'm Marwan Abd El-Alim a Photographer, and photography instructor, originally Egyptian, currently based in Bulgaria.
in 2014, almost 7 years after I kick started my career as full time photographer, I was invited to give a lecture in Egypt's most important Photography event in it's first edition as one of only 10 speakers through out the whole event, being 25 years old, I was the youngest among the speakers!
that's me on the right-bottom corner.
That talk was about finding your identity as artist, no matter how bold the market identity is.
Surprisingly, same year, 4 months later, I met the love of my life, a Bulgarian ballerina, we got married same year, and in 2016 we decided to move from Cairo, Egypt to Plovdiv, Bulgaria, her home town, to find myself, ready to give up all what I reached in almost 9 years, just to follow the love of my life, I derived the courage to take such step from our love to each other, and my belief that an artist creates his own market.
Now, I'm in Bulgaria, met a lot of nice people, they were great help to start all over again, in new place,
Thanks to 
I'll be sharing more of my work, photography tips, lectures.
everything art !
