  • Nashville to Knoxville, Tokyo to Beirut

    Photoshoots for the comics were done in several cities during '22-'24. While the majority of the photography was done outdoors in Nashville, some sessions took place wherever our photographer travelled as the project carried on and was influenced by other cultures.

  • Photographer

    Photo Comics photography is mainly shot on 35 mm near infrared B&W film by Zaki Daouk. Zaki uses the technique of double exposure to create a storyboard narrative that is part of the script. Follow Zaki on Instagram and Flickr to see samples from the photoshoots of this project and beyond.
