Having split my life between three different continents, the chase of adventure has become instinct and documenting through lens has become my sanctuary.

Hi, I’m Razan Osman, I also go by Raz.

Born and raised in the United States with a rich Nubian heritage, I embarked on a journey shaped by a tapestry of cultures. After my parents’ divorce, I moved to Qatar with my mother at 14—a transition that became the spark for my passion for photography. This initial move set me on a path of constant exploration, where capturing the world through my lens became my truest companion.

I pursued a bachelor’s degree in architecture in the UK, diving deep into design principles and perspectives that continue to inform my creative work. Midway through my studies, I visited Portugal, a city that instantly resonated with me through its intricate design aesthetic, vibrant color palettes, and profound appreciation for art and music. Two years later, I made it my home, finding a sanctuary in its unique blend of culture and creativity.

Traveling frequently and immersing myself in diverse environments has become part of my life, but photography is the one constant that has anchored me through every journey. Today, I dedicate my career to capturing the essence of places, moments, and stories that inspire me. I believe that great design goes beyond the visual—it tells a story, evokes emotion, and connects us to something larger. And for me, Portugal exemplifies this beautifully, continuously inspiring me in both my photography and my creative pursuits.
