Born in the Libyan capital Tripoli, Mohammed El Mhedwi started to dedicate himself to photography during his free time while studying Electronic Engineering & Communications.
His love for photos gradually became his job, when he decided to put a halt to his studies and work as a photographer. He started taking photos and telling stories while travelling from one place to the next. In this way, he was able to combine his love for travelling, sprung from his experience as a scout, and his passion for photography. El Mhedwi’s interest in photography and travelling was first aroused while reading Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist”, where the main character Santiago embarks on a journey to fulfil his own ‘Personal Legend’.
Recently, he has taken up directing classes.
