Mr. Khanfar was born (1956) and raised in Kuwait, after his refugee parents had to flee their native country, Palestine. His first involvement with photography was at a young age, and it grew into a lifelong passion. He has now widely traveled, promoting, through his view camera, an uplifting vision of peace and humanity, for while growing up in Kuwait, he had been continually exposed to images of violence and conflict.
Last year, his work was included, along with 38 other people, in the book The World’s Top Photographers: Landscape, published by Rhoto Vision in London. In 2000, he published his first book, Voices of Light.
Over 25 years, Yousef Khanfar has created a strong body of work. He is currently the Exhibits Chairman at the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum, located in Oklahoma City. He has been in a number of shows worldwide and published in various magazines, including Oprah, Photo Art International, Amateur Photographer and Outdoor Photographer. He is a regular instructor at Bruce Barnbaum’s workshop in Washington State.
