Tewfic El-Sawy – Profile

Based in New York City, I am a freelance photographer who specializes in documenting endangered cultures and traditional life ways of Asia, Latin America and Africa. My images, articles and photo features were published in various magazines, and my travel photographs were featured by some of the largest adventure travel companies in the United States and Great Britain, as well as in multinational corporations’ art collections. I have also given photo talks at the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art in NYC. Known as The Travel Photographer, I plan, organize and lead photo expeditions-workshops for other photographers, with emphasis on travel photography, multimedia storytelling and documentary photography…a hybrid style akin to ”a photojournalist photographing travel.” I’m also the founder of The Travel Photographer blog.

I’ve been on the Foundry Photojournalism Workshop faculty since it’s inception in 2008.
