Ever wondered what it would be like if ancient Romans were among us today? A team of Egyptian photographers and a fashion designer have an aesthetically beautiful answer to that.
O art-studio is a photography community based in Alexandria, Egypt, and the fruit of a collaboration between two talented photographers, Henar Sherif and Adel Essam.
A Roman Tale is a series of 50 photos taken in the coastal city of Alexandria, featuring youths dressed in ancient Roman attire designed by fashion designer Ahmed Abdullah.
