Marc Abou Jaoude is a Beirut-born photographer, documentary maker, and storyteller.

Something big. Something special. Something real. That's what drives every image Marc makes.

His journey began long before the awards in the quiet decision to leave everything behind and dedicate his life to the craft. From the streets of Beirut to refugee camps on the Syrian border, Marc has spent over a decade chasing stories that matter, building a body of work rooted in truth, empathy, and an obsession with the authentic moment.

A multi-award-winning photographer, Marc's greatest achievement isn't on any trophy it's in the trust people place in him. That trust has been earned across some of the world's most respected organizations the UN, UNICEF, CARE International, World Vision, Caritas and many more, documenting humanitarian crises with honesty, dignity, and an unwavering commitment to the people behind the story.

He believes the camera is the last step. First comes listening. Then understanding. Then connection. Only then does he shoot.

From humanitarian documentaries to portraits that stop you mid-scroll — Marc brings the same relentless soul to everything he touches.

He is also the co-founder of Spice Photography a creative studio built on the same passion for visual storytelling, specializing in commercial, fashion, and product photography for brands across Lebanon, UAE, and KSA.
