Photo of the Year 2025 goes to Ahmed Nabawy (slomosk) — SAHARA co-founder and chief photographer, behind so many of the images that became the memory of Egyptian skateboarding.
This one goes to Ahmed Nabawy, or as we all know him, slomosk.
If you stopped scrolling this year because a photo felt too real, too alive, too perfectly timed — chances are it was him.
SAHARA co-founder. Chief photographer. Still only twenty-five, and somehow already responsible for a lot of the images that became the memory of Egyptian skateboarding.
Just the moment, caught by someone who understands what actually matters in our scene.
Respect to everyone behind the lens. But today, we're saluting one of the pillars. Thank you, Nabawy, for feeding the culture.
Skateboarder: Ayoub Shebl.
