Our entire existence in the 21st century would be incomplete without filmmaking and photography. The stories of who we are- are preserved over time because of the ones who capture the simple moments of our lives that become critical aspects of our history. It is very rare to find an artist who embodies both gifts with effortless excellence. Georges Yazbek is the exception.
Through his lens, this award winning filmmaker/photogra-pher is re-defining our society on a massive scale. Millions of people are able to connect with Yazbek’s work every day of their lives. As a field producer and shooter for MTV, his work on shows such as ‘True Life’, ‘Made’ and ‘Diary’ continue to raise the bar for how stories are told.
“I really enjoy working on shows like Made because it allows me to film with people who have dreams but may not nec-essarily have an outlet to accomplish their dreams. This is what drives me. It is vital for me to give a voice to people who wouldn’t ordinarily have a platform to express themselves while representing the depth of who they are. You never know what holds people back from accomplishing their dreams. It is important for me to allow people to tell their stories authen-tically-without the fear of judgment. There is a psychology to everything we do. Most of us don’t understand that individu-als are usually reacting to what has been said or done to them. At any rate-life is about having dreams and most importantly materializing those dreams no matter what obstacles you encounter.”
Fulfilling his own dreams is what Yazbek has been doing for the past few years. It would take some a lifetime to achieve what the Lebanese standout has accomplished in one year. His body of work is a composition of a wide range of produc-tion including entertainment shows, documentaries, product videos, special features, pilots and events. He has received numerous accolades and worked with A-List celebrities and award-winning filmmakers. In addition to working with MTV, his shows have been broadcast on various stations in the U.S including PBS.
Filmmaker & Photographer, Georges Yazbek elevates social consciousness with his art.

“There is a psychology to everything we do. Most of us don’t understand that individuals are usually reacting to what has been said or done to them. At any rate life is about having dreams and most im-portantly materializing those dreams no matter the obstacle.”
MAMi 12
As celebrated as he is, Yazbek is not attached to the glitz and glamour of show business. Instead he still views himself as a vessel for the voiceless. The passion to equip people with the tools to share their stories is at the center of Yazbek’s being. “It’s not easy to share everything that matters to me on a mainstream level,” he says, “So for me, photography has been an outlet to express another side of myself. I love photogra-phy because it is very silent. It’s so opposite from filmmaking because it’s just one frame that speaks to you. Like filmmak-ing, photography allows me to be a reporter.” Yazbek’s photo-graphs articulate a message much more poignant than words or sound could convey. In June of 2011, Yazbek went to the Palestenian refugee camps in Lebanon. While on assignment to film b-roll in the camps, Yazbek developed an interest in the plight of children living in dangerous conditions-where the concept of safety remains elusive. In its recent history, Yazbeks’s home country has been plagued by war and he is convinced the legacy of repeated political unrest leaves an everlasting state of uncertainty. A state where dreams re-main deferred and promises never kept. The only thing that remains consistent is that there is always a story to be told. “When I was at the camps working I found myself moving away from the tripod. I was so moved by the kids. Somehow they knew I was an outlet for them to share their story. While I was trying to understand how kids live in such an unsafe environment, I started wondering something…if today was built for these kids in this way, what direction will they take to build their tomorrow?”
Yazbek explains that those who exist in the chaotic environ-ments of war and political unrest understand that they are automatically a part of a news story. This reality gives them the power to express themselves and share their own story with the world.
One of Yazbek’s award-winning compositions captures a joyful child running happily while in an environment of utter destitution and despair. His happiness is undeterred by the melancholy of neither the mortuary behind him nor the wom-an who appears to be lost in somber thought. This strange irony of obvious contradictions has become Yazbek’s motif. In this regard- his work is impressive yet chilling. Yazbek’s irony is the juxtaposition of two very contrasting elements that create a marriage of complexity and depth. He says his approach is about balance and his photographs capture the core of our human existence- which in its pure form is the very essence of balance. Afterall, life in itself is about contra-dictions. We are given life yet we eventually die. Most smiles
MAMi 13
are often preceded by tears. Our harshest struggles are often followed by our greatest successes. Every moment of this is captured by Yazbek in both his films and photography. “It’s about depth,” he says. “In the photograph, Inspired? I captured the image of a five year old boy who commanded my attention. He had a toy gun and was in full control of how he maneuvered the gun at one point placing it close to his mouth.” Perhaps replicating the reality of his environment. The picture is frightening and riveting. It presents a dangerous dynamic for we do not know what the child is thinking or what his young eyes have seen. There is no way to tell what this boy will become in the future, but what he has experienced will certainly become a part of who he is. Yazbek is concerned that we have become so detached that we don’t care anymore. “I am most bothered by unfairness-it does something to my heart. We have a responsibility to one another. Art survives centuries but our century will not survive because we have lost the essence of our human element and that is to care. I enjoy doing work for non-profits such as SEAL because they improve the standards of living for the lower segment of Lebanon’s population by funding projects that increase economic development. They help people become self-sufficient.”
Yazbek’s work is a reminder that you have to be brave in order to be free. You can not place comfort before liberation. His art is immea-surably affecting the social consciousness of the world we live in by forcing us to challenge the complacency that we’ve become accus-tomed to. Through his lens, Yazbek illuminates light in places where only darkness existed. He reminds us that we were created with hearts-and like the Tin Man in The Wizard of OZ perhaps we have lost our hearts and no longer believe that we have the ability to love, to feel or even achieve. We must find our hearts again. Gifted, extraor-dinary and innovative, Georges Yazbek’s themes of complexity and strange irony presents a sense of balance to film, photography and life. Yazbek is adding a new dimension that is influencing millions. How can we not be inspired?

Mother by Sunil P Narayan for Stephanie Burkhalter Collection A tall femme wearing a deep blue silk dressSits in the corner of a bar with tulip-shaped eyes,wallowing in the blue pond of tranquilityThe veil of her velvet-silk, pillbox hat hides themfrom disgruntled menHeron legs adorned with purple floral lace stockingsare crossed to tease their pounding egos Elle porte une blouse de taffetas rose avec des saphirs roses encerclés par des diamantsIls ornent le col qui coule comme un courant dudécolletage à la nuqueDes deux épaules il y a la draperie suspendue pourle front et en arrièreEt sur le sommet est assis un saphir pourpre, en forme d’Iris s’est blotti dans l’orDe sa taille coule une jupe de satin faite de Ζεύςbleu profond She is of the highest divinity unforeseen by theprophets in the BibleFrom which corner of the world does she hail from!?Never uttering a word to a single stranger…not eventouching the arm of a lonely man

Everywhere her άγνος perfume snatches all in sight! It gives them twinges within the heartHer body moves like a senuous riverTaunting the Cathedral sculptures which gaze uponher The daughter of Ἀφροδίτη brings life to adesolate civilizationWith tall, pink oleander trees containing innumerablecapsules of passion from our Supreme Mother They crack to send the vibrations of her heart towards mankindSuch a gracious deed pleases Ἥλιος who grew numb from wailing of his ailments while downing red wineWhat treachery tyrants impose on the Supreme Lover of mankindCannot hold weight against her sublime caress! Suddenly, the stars swarm in the dark blue shroud,brightening as she becomes enamored with their beauty!Yet for a million years, life did not flow from les Alpes Γαῖα had forsaken her dry lands so drank from a golden vasefilled with poisonThen she came, from the Heavens of our Lord!To replenish the skeletal vessel with sustenancebefitting of a feast for Ζεύς! Ἠώς embraced her grandmother in rapturewhen noticing the ocean being reinvigorated onceagainAs mountains forced their way through thousandsOf miles of water to capture their first breathThe clouds that once dripped toxic raindissipated within seconds! La mousseline de soie colorée de safran flotte pour des ligues au-dessous de les yeux vigilants ΖεύςAvant chute dans les paumes ouvertes de notre ReineFait du corps d’ Ἠώς: un jeton de la gratitude profonde de son coeurPour saisir la peste qui était arrivée à notre mère pas soupçonnante

Client: Ceetay Restaurant www.ceetay.com
Services we provided: Interior Decorating, Website Design, Photoshoot of food and space, logo design.
Description: For this specific interior design project, we were given the task to design a restaurant though based upon Asian cuisine, the desired mood the client wanted to achieve was much more unconventional and based on the idea of fusing industrial style and modern elements, with vintage and antique pieces.
Given the small square footage we made very careful creative decisions to help make the space appear larger. From our color choices, to the communal style arrangement of tables, we successfully exe-cuted a healthy balance between the value of aesthetics and functionality. To add character to the dining area we brought in both pur-chased accessories as well as original handwork designs. We created clusters of mason jar chandeliers, deconstructed books for the shelf decor, as well as hand stain Chinese newspapers in coffee to create a custom de-signed vintage wall art that acts as the focal point for the entire restaurant which helped to create the desired rustic ambiance.
The genuine vibe and atmosphere that we achieved in the space we made sure to carry the feeling to the design of the website and the photoshoot.

New Client: Mike ShandService: Brand Identity, Marketing, and Product Development
A Kiwi chef climbing the international culinary ranks can list music moguls Beyonce and Jay-Z among his star clientele. Cooking for the ce-lebrity husband and wife team has become part of the job for a rising star himself. Shand works as an on-tour personal chef to the Gram-my-award-winning singers. When he’s not trav-elling, he can be found in the kitchen at New York’s 40/40 Club where he has been head chef for two years.
Oval ‘s goal with this new client is to effec-tively conceive, create and execute a branding and marketing plan for the Mike Shand brand
I have been very blessed to be able to have worked in so many different fields and wear so many different hats throughout my career. I’m an entrepreneur and creative person at heart.
I started out contributing to various projects as a producer, director, editor & cameraperson. I directed a Latrell Sprewell commercial featuring Questlove from The Roots for AND 1.
I then began hosting for television and went on to win a Bill-board Music Award for Best Regional Hip Hop for “The Ave-nue”, a weekly television show that featured interviews with the hottest acts in the entertainment industries including Jay Z and Alicia Keys.
I went on to work for Zilo Networks, a New York-based college television network, I hosted and produced the NBA All-Star Motorola Special in Washington D.C., and produced and hosted “You Know You Want It”, a weekly TV show which showcased me interviewing with high profile celebrities from Adam San-dler to Will Smith at major award shows and movie premieres.
I later began hosting for BET’s “Maad Sports”. Covering foot-ball, basketball, and baseball personalities and topics, I hosted several pieces during BET’s coverage of the Super Bowl and The NBA All-star Games
From there I jumped into the fashion world by teaming up with jersey company Stall & Dean in an exclusive contract to design and sell a Women’s only line of throwback jerseys. This experience inspired me to start my own company Vintage Blue, where I served as the owner and creative director. To Date, Vintage Blue, secured an exclusive license with AAGPBL, that was featured in the movie A League of Their own starring tom Hanks and Madonna, has been placed on celebrities like Alicia Keys and JLO, featured in major publications and placed in vari-ous boutiques through out the country.
That entire experience led me to opening my own boutique in Philadelphia, which was featured in the New York Times as one of the top ten boutiques in Philadelphia along with working on various movies, commercials, runways, and magazine shoots as a stylist.
I some how in the midst of all this found time to parlay as a teacher were I taught film and fashion classes to inner city kids and eventually secured a fulltime job as a visual merchandiser for Forever 21 and a Visual Display Artist for Macy’s, imple-menting their window concepts.

BMW has unveiled the third concept car from its i8 series of elec-tric-gas hybrids: the i8 Spyder.
The i8 Spyder is based on the i8 concept car which debuted in 2011, ditching the top and the back two seats, and perhaps some of the more radical ideas from BMW’s first sporty hybrid concept.
The i8 Spyder sports a 96 kW/131 hp on the front, coupled with a 164 kW/223 hp gasoline engine on the back, which accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
As far as fuel consumption goes, BMW claims 3 liters per 100 km (62 miles), with 30 kilometres (19 miles) of autonomy on electric power alone.
The design of the car is still as otherworldly as the first two i8 con-cepts, with plenty of black and electric blue details, upward-swiv-elling doors and a semi-transparent “V” on the front end, which enables passers-by to take a look at the electric engine.
The interior features an 8.8-inch (22.4 cm) screen display, which, claims BMW, shows “all the relevant driving information in three-di-mensional, high-resolution quality.”
