PHOTOGRAPHY

Later on, I realized my visual stories and memories are my connection to people and places or, better to say, the bridge I was looking for my whole life.

At the age of 18, amidst struggles with addiction, mental health, and a toxic relationship, Afta dropped out of York University. But he managed to change his life for the better and pursued his dream of being an artist. In just two years, Afta went from performing for 40 people in underground shisha lounges to organizing, headlining, and selling out a venue of 350 fans. He co-founded his own label and publisher “Bad Faith Records” to enable a frictionless creative infrastructure.
