Welcome to "40 Years In The Life Of A Viewfinder", my official website. This is a retrospective of my favorite images from the mid 60s to date, which I'd like to share with you all image lovers: artists, collectors, students, art professionals or amateurs, interior designers, art galleries, busy pros or dreamers alike. As a commercial photographer for almost four decades - or maybe because of that should I say ? - I have always made it a point to find time to create my very own personal images, to look, see, appreciate, and then try to bring out the quintessence of what I see and feel through that tiny piece of glass commonly referred to as a viewfinder, but that I'd rather call the "Magic Window". There are so many things around us, way out there or just right here, which too often and quite unfortunately go totally unnoticed.
Portraits, Beauty, Fashion, Architecture, Landscapes, Objects, and much more... everything that whispers to my senses "Look at me", that is what tickles my creative juices. I've been said to have an eye for beauty, well... I'm sure I'm not alone ! Give it a shot, you'll be amazed at what you can find ! In addition to my personal work, I'm proud to share with you a special gallery dedicated to that of my talented photography students (Architects and Designers) at the American University of Beirut.
YOUR WORDS ¡ Oil on canvas or real photographs taken by a master in photography ? So overwhelming in real size, color, and texture ! Still need some sound /music for your “Loco-Motifs” to breathe into life !! Thank you for the exhibition. Nada Abi Zeid ¡ I had written a paper once about one of your painting/collage because I had truly admired your work that I saw in downtown Beirut ... I always thought I should let you know that I consider you to be one of the greatest artists of this century and that your work is really inspiring for me. So... thank you I guess. Yasmine Sinno ¡ The virtuoso of "Musical Photography", that which combines composition, rythm, and orchestration of colors. Zéna Zalzal
¡ With a true artist’s eye, Nader’s photographs make powerful statements devoid of any sentimentality. Henry Bateman
¡
Art rather than photographs ! These are
"Masterpieces". I really loved your work ! It is
amazing to think that some photos date back to the 8os, one could
think that it is almost an entire life ! Frankly, you make us feel
like wanting to become photographers. Thank you for offering us a
beautiful exhibition.
Michèle
Sainte-Marie ¡ A new height for fine art photography in Lebanon... Marwan Sabban
¡ Amazing and precious images where marble, wood, and brass blend in total harmony, under the tutelary sign of art. Hervé Le Goff
¡ I really appreciate your love for beauty, the capacity to keep simple and essential with a light hint of "Van Gogh" in shading and waving the details through a soft game of luci ed ombre, and a remarkable capacity to grab details of our everyday life. Barbara Caron ¡ Such limpidity in the eyes, such eroticism conveyed with so much subtlety... Rafic Boustani
¡ Words cannot describe the beauty of your work... Emmanuelle Geoffrey ¡ Breathtaking. Your pictures are so inspiring, they are like images from a dream. Love you work... Eliane ¡ Images with a purity that can be almost touched, like the "grain" of this "oriental" tambourine, backlit and placed in front of stained glass... Natacha Sikias
¡ Hi Marc, your website made my day. I just spent an hour looking at the photos you have there; they are wonderful! It made me wanna go back to Lebanon ... Thank you for sharing them with us, it was a great pleasure. Marc Harik ¡ It's the first time I see your work and I was so touched by the beauty of the photography. Your pictures look like paintings ! Diane Abdel Khalek ¡ I want to thank you for your passionate teaching. It has been a great class and I have definitely learnt a lot from this course. Joelle Chaftari
