I’m

Leonie Zaytoune

Originally from the Netherlands but based in Marrakech, Morocco since 2017. I have a deep appreciation for simplicity, serenity and elegance. Elements I strive to reflect in my work.

Wherever I go, I can’t help but to think in images that I frame in my mind. My eyes are always searching for a specific kind of light. Attracted by earthy tones, textures and patterns, lines and cultural elements. There is wonder and a certain adrenaline when I find those. It forces me to stop for a moment and give it my all to try capture the photo I had in mind.

Wonder is one of the most beautiful feelings to me. That pure, childlike sense of curiosity and awe. I experience it every time I photograph. When the light falls just right, or when a composition suddenly feels complete. Living and working in Marrakech makes that feeling come alive. This city never fails to surprise me with its light, textures and quiet moments of beauty. Through my photography, I hope to share that same sense of wonder because I believe we could all use a little more of it in our everyday lives.

This vibrant city is a feast for the senses and attracts many creative professionals from all over the world. Designers, photographers, home decor curators, travel writers, retreat organizers, bloggers. All different persons with each their own story and purpose. But one thing we all have in common: the love for this city.

If you came to visit my website and took the time to read this (thank you!), chances are big you are one of them as well. So if for your boutique riad or your brand you’re in need of a photographer who is based in Marrakech, feel free to get in touch and send me your inquiries through the contact page or by e-mail. I’d be happy to answer them and hopefully capture your project in our beloved city.

 Love,

Leonie
