05 / BEHIND THE LENS
HUSAM, IN PERSON.
PRESENT. CURIOUS. ALWAYS EXPLORING.PALESTINIAN PHOTOGRAPHER & FILMMAKER
More than an image.
A moment, understood.
I’m Husam Ghanem, a photographer and videographer based in Jerusalem and Ramallah. Since 2008, I’ve worked across food, products, interiors, portraits, and video production.
My journeys span 14 countries, including Cyprus’s Turkish and Greek parts. Many were photography assignments, alongside personal travels. Previously with the Leap to Peak team, I worked on the website, social media and trip photography, and led three international trips.
Across Palestine, from south to north, I have explored and taken part in numerous climbing, camping and outdoor activities. These experiences continue to shape how I see landscapes, people and the stories between them.
Community matters to me, too. I founded a local board games club around shared experiences and bringing people together.
