In the heart of Egypt, a man traded blueprints for a camera and never looked back. Fady Habashy, a Christian Egyptian, husband, and father of a 3-year-old daughter, has quickly become one of the most influential photographers and content creators in the Middle East. Today, he is the founder of multiple media and production ventures including Dot House Egypt, Dot Weddings, Dot Production, and The Dotcast platforms that are reshaping the local creative scene.
Fady’s journey began when he graduated from the College of Engineering in 2013. But the call of creativity was stronger than his corporate path. After just six months in engineering, he made the bold decision to pursue photography full time. A decade later, he’s become a household name in the photography and content creation space.
Portraits, Weddings, and a Whole Lot of Passion
Fady Habashy specializes in portrait and wedding photography. Despite owning a team of professional photographers including the highly talented team, who shoots weddings independently, Fady still enjoys photographing weddings himself. His personal touch and attention to emotion have made him a favorite among couples looking to capture the essence of their big day.
But his work doesn’t stop at weddings. Through his company Dot House Egypt, Fady handles high profile projects across Egypt, including real estate photography, advertising campaigns, school projects, and hospitality visuals for Egypt’s top hotels. His portfolio reflects a wide ranging expertise in both photography and videography.

The studio is also available for rent, making it a central hub for up and coming photographers and creators looking for a professional setting to bring their visions to life. This collaborative approach is part of what sets Fady apart. He’s not just building a business. He’s building a community.
Teaching the Next Generation of Creators
Fady’s desire to uplift others is at the core of everything he does. With over 160,000 subscribers on YouTube and a growing following on Instagram and TikTok, he’s become a go to source for photography and content creation tutorials in Arabic.
He offers free tips, behind the scenes insights, and even shares personal struggles making learning both accessible and relatable. Currently, he’s preparing to launch his first and most important workshop focused entirely on lighting, a crucial skill for any serious photographer or videographer. This workshop promises to be a game changer for aspiring creators across Egypt.
