Timeline

1980

Laura El-Tantawy (born 1980) is a British-Egyptian photographer based in London and Cairo.

She works as a freelance news photographer and on personal projects.

El-Tantawy was born in England to Egyptian parents and moved to Egypt as an infant, growing up between there, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Her website says her photography is "inspired by questions on her identity - exploring social and environmental issues pertaining to her background."

El-Tantawy was born in Worcestershire, England, in 1980 to Egyptian parents and grew up between Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

2002

She graduated from the University of Georgia in Athens, GA, in 2002 with dual degrees in journalism and political science.

Also in 2002, she began working as a newspaper photographer with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

2005

Creative Review described it as "close-up photographs of protestors and street scenes of fervent crowds in Cairo during the January revolution in Tahrir Square, are mixed in with local witness accounts, alongside old family photographs from her childhood growing up between Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the US. Shot between 2005-2014, the series is a heady combination of documentary photography, portraits, and more dynamic, abstract images, jarring with the retro, candid shapshots."

Gerry Badger, selecting the book for the Best Photobook prize at Fotobookfestival in Kassel (which it won), wrote "Her highly impressionistic style is in the best tradition of Japanese protest books, and captures he confusion of the event extremely well – where people where having picnics in the middle of the square while others were dying in the surrounding streets. At first glance, her brightly coloured, semi abstract images seem too ‘aesthetic’, but when you really get into and study the sequence, journeying from hope and exultation to near despair, the toughness of her vision becomes apparent, and the whole is brought together with excellent production values and a beautiful, yet not overinsistent design.

Her "I'll Die for You" series deals with suicide among rural Indian farmers.

El-Tantawy's website says her photography is "inspired by questions on her identity - exploring social and environmental issues pertaining to her background."

She has also said her inspiration "primarily comes from music, poetry and impressionistic painters – my photographic influences tend to be poetic and painterly like, such as the work of Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Miguel Rio Branco and Saul Leiter."

2006

In 2006, she became a freelance photographer so she could work on personal projects.

2009

She completed a research fellowship at the University of Oxford in 2009, and gained an MA in art and media practice from the University of Westminster, London, in 2011.

2015

In the Shadow of the Pyramids (2015) came about through "going back to Egypt to discover her roots, she became caught up in the momentous events in Tahir Square during 2011, and stayed to photograph the whole event."

In the Shadow of the Pyramids, was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize in 2015.

In 2015 El-Tantawy self-published her first book, In the Shadow of the Pyramids. Partly supported by Burn magazine and a crowdfunding campaign, it is centered on the Egyptian Revolution of 2011.
