Lebanese Photographer Showcases Lebanon’s Wildlife in Stunning Photos
Nineteen-year-old wildlife photographer Sami Lakkis believes that not only are Lebanon’s landscapes worth capturing, but also its magnificent wildlife. He’s made it his mission to showcase the beauty of local wildlife in a series of photographs that have been going viral on social media, so we thought he deserved a spotlight.
His camera takes him to mountains, forests, and every corner in between, capturing moments of wildlife that many of us never get to see.
Through his photos and videos, Sami shares a side of Lebanon that is often overlooked, reaching thousands of viewers with his unique perspective.
Lebanon may be small, but it’s incredibly diverse with its snow-capped mountains, ancient cedar forests, and sandy Mediterranean beaches, making it home to diverse wildlife.
Sami is well aware of the threats Lebanese wildlife faces, including habitat destruction, pollution, and illegal hunting all put Lebanon’s wild creatures at risk. Through his work, he hopes that through his work, people will not only admire Lebanon’s wildlife but also understand the importance of protecting it.
What sets Sami apart is his eye for detail. Every small movement is captured in a way that makes you feel as if you’re walking through the forest with him.
We rarely get to see such beautiful photos of Lebanon’s wildlife, so make sure to drop Sami a follow on Instagram! You might just spot some creatures you never knew lived here.
