British born in Croydon to an Arab father and Scottish mother. An avid interest in the arts since an early age picked up her father’s old Olympus film camera and loved the immediacy of shoring and capturing images. First exhibited in a group show in Paris then had a two-man show with Fenton Bailey whereupon sold pieces to amongst others Damian Hirst and the boxer Derek Chisora.

Mairi-Luise Tabbakh’s erotic photographic work captures the raw essence of woman as a subject and explores the sensuality of human relationships. The objectification of her subject is all the more intriguing given her femininity, adding a layer of mystery to her work. Her photographs have been featured in various publications as well as group exhibitions in both London and Paris and can be found in a number of notable private art collections. Tabbakh’s London debut was “Humans Relations,” a two-person exhibition alongside Fenton Bailey that presented a monochromatic theme of erotic photography. Sascha Bailey curated the show at Imitate Modern and it launched to an impressive turnout of celebrities, collectors, and press, cementing its success with industry heavyweight Damien Hirst purchasing pieces for his own collection. Marco Pierre White, Lord Bath and Derek Chisora are also collectors of Tabbakh’s photography. Tabbakh leaves no question to the passion and depth of emotion in her imagery. She has an innate ability to turn her interaction with and fixation on the human subject into a beautiful art form.
