About Youssef

I’m Youssef Gendi, a photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth. Photography started for me as a way to hold on to moments and the memories that come with them. What began as an interest grew into a business where I get to tell people’s stories through my camera.

Graduations, engagements, church events, concerts and family portraits: whatever the occasion, I’m looking for real emotion and the moments that matter to you, so you have them to come back to.

Have a date in mind? Tell me about your event and I’ll be in touch to talk it through. I’d love to be part of your story.

Quiet when it counts

At a baptism or a ring exchange, the moment comes first. I keep to the edges and move only when I need to.

Ready for any light

Candlelit churches, night concerts and bright afternoons in the park are all part of the job.

Part of the community

Many of my clients are Coptic Orthodox families and congregations I already know, and every client gets the same care.

Behind the camera

On a sidewalk, beside the altar or in the middle of the crowd, wherever the photo is.
