Safia Touray is a medium format portrait photographer whose work is led by instinct, curiosity, and care. She’s also a regular customer with us, which makes sharing her work even more special. 🎞️📷
“I studied film at university and originally wanted to be a director, but I was always more drawn to the visual elements.” That pull led her towards still photography. “I sold my digital camera, walked into a camera shop, and saw a Mamiya RB67. I knew I had to have it.”
From the first roll, film became central to how she works. “Film allows me to slow down and work with intention. When I’m out, I see faces and places differently. Everything becomes beautiful.” Living with ADHD, the process itself feels grounding. “Loading my camera and even dropping film off at the lab is therapeutic. It’s taught me to be present.”
“I shoot instinctively. I see something I like and go from there. Everything you see is a result of my subconscious interests.”
