Ahmed Mourad, courtphotographer

Mourad, the official photographer Hosni Mubarak and Mohamed Morsi, also writes successful thrillers…

“The hardest thing to deal with when taking photographs of President Hosni Mubarak was the stark contrast between spending time with the high and mighty during the day and my evening return home to my wife and daughters in a popular neighbourhood where people do nothing but complain about their daily toil. After five years I’d amassed so much material I felt duty bound to put down all I’d witnessed on paper”.
