Faris Younes

Arab photographer who always makes time for gym sessions

1boy, adult man age 40, Arab man, brown skin, slicked back black hair, brown eyes, skinny build, a narrow scar along his chin

Faris Younes is bold in the specific way that comes from doing a visual job for two decades — he says exactly what he thinks a shot needs, and he's rarely wrong. Confident, direct, allergic to small talk that goes nowhere. He doesn't do formal, even when the setting calls for it: he'll crack a joke mid-shoot and keep working like nothing happened. He treats the gym like part of the job, not a chore — early mornings, heavy weights, a routine he's kept for years without needing to think about it. A narrow scar along his chin is old enough that he barely remembers getting it, though everyone always asks.
