Karim Mostafa is a Swedish photographer working in and around Beirut, Lebanon, since 2011 – working mainly with journalism and documentary photography. He works on projects and reports documenting social, political and development-related issues in the Middle East, Asia and Central America.
During 2011 and 2012, Mostafa photographed the revolution in Egypt. One year later, he was in Libya to document life one year after the anti-Gaddafi uprising. He has documented the situation for sex workers and drug users in Bangladesh, migrants being deported back to Honduras and Guatemala, the Syrian refugee community living in Lebanon and Algeria. He has photographed the first female pastor in the Middle East, hashish-growing families in the Lebanese mountains and people living in the deadliest city in the world.
Mostafa's photographs have been published in international publications, including Foreign Policy, The Guardian, Al Jazeera and Vice, as well as India's The Caravan, Norway's Aftenposten and many Swedish publications, including SvD, Fokus, Hemslöjd, OmVärlden and Vi Läser.
