Born in Giza, Egypt and raised in Kuwait. Had most of his childhood and schooling in Kuwait.

In 2011, Amr moved back to Egypt to enroll in Architecture Engineering at the October University for Modern Sciences and Arts as per his parents wish to pursue a career in Engineering.

In 2011, The Egyptian 25th of January revolution toke place which led to Amr having to move back to Kuwait due to the instability and security gaps that came with the revolution.

After he returned to Kuwait he changed his major from Architectural Engineering to Civil Engineering later in the same year.

On his 18th birthday, Amr received a gift that totally had an impact on his life. Amr got his first standard Nikon camera as his birthday gift from his mother.

With more practice and self-learning in tandem with his studies, he started focusing more in the photography tools and methods that later, he decided to take it as a career not just a hobby.

In 2013 he started to work professionally with photography for big campaigns in Kuwait such as his participation in shooting Hala February concerts which includes many of famous Arab singers. Also he worked for Pacha Kuwait company and photographed many of their events.

Then he started to have his own team to work in many different fields in photography such as advertising campaigns, wedding and events.

In 2015 he graduated from the Australian College of Kuwait as a Civil Engineer and he decided to develop himself in photography. Amr travelled back to Egypt and joined another university to double major his civil engineering degree with an academic degree Mass Media.

In 2015, Amr joined the Future University in Egypt in the Faculty of Economics and Political Science and studied Political Mass Media as his double major; which later enabled him to expand his social relations.

His studies at the university was a turning point in his life since he decided to change his focus from photography to videography. However, competition and appearance in Egypt was very difficult due to the difference in population density between Egypt and Kuwait. Everyday, he used to meet people with the same hobby to develop his knowledge in this completely new and different field than photography.

He started to shoot commercial videos to small brands. With the passage of days, he started to leave his mark in the largest brands and businesses in Egypt such as Chilis, Studio Masr, Sale Sucre, Gringos and many wedding videos.

After that he got a chance to shoot for a small project for the diva singer Samira Saied but he was so worried. By the support of his parents he got his new professional camera from Sony to be a specialist on video taking.

After the success of this video he had other 4 videos with Samira Said and she gave him a chance to shoot on a Ramadan Campaign for Tamer Hosny and Nancy Agram on Ramadan 2018.
