Tell us a bit about yourself.
Well I’m 28 years young and I’m doing my best to find the fountain of youth, but so far I just keep drinking lots of water…LOL. I live in Dallas Texas, in the downtown area and love it. My husband and I are city people, it might take us a while to push out to the “burbs”. I hate the feeling of being far away from a busy city, I don’t know why and it’s funny cause as a kid I grew up in a rural area, out in the country. We only had 48 students in our high school graduating class…LOL. Now that’s small town love!
What made you get into photography?
I have been a photographer for about 7 years now…WOW that makes me feel old, LOL. I was 21 when I got my first job at a digital photography studio. I have loved photography though, since I was a kid. I remember I used to take so many pictures everywhere I went as a kid, and I would make huge words on my bedroom wall out of all the photos. I only had a little 35 mm point and shoot and wind it up again camera, not even the automatic winder! LOL…It was lime green! Now all I touch are digital cameras, I probably would be lost trying to use a film camera again, LOL…”What, I don’t get to see the image before it’s developed!”

Hanan Turk is a famous Egyptian actress who started off her entertainment career as a professional ballerina. In 2006 she decided to wear hijab and shocked her fans by taking a break from the spotlight for a few years. She’s been back recently in the Arab cinema and television scene and has surprised naysayers with her success as a serious actress who just happens to don a headscarf.
Hijabtrendz recently interviewed Turk to learn more about what it’s like to be a Hijabi in a field that traditionally doesn’t support women who wear hijab.
