Sehin Tewabe, a 26-year-old self-taught professional photographer based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, grew up with an innate passion for photography. Coming from a large family, she was constantly surrounded by joyous moments that held significance and deserved to be preserved. Sehin took it upon herself to capture these moments by grabbing any camera available, immortalizing them and nurturing her love for photography in the process. Through the use of her creative force and natural light, Sehin strives to capture the essence of reality and express her own sensibility.

As social media gained popularity, Sehin’s ambition was fueled, providing her with a platform to showcase her work to a wider audience. Although she does various genres of photography, she acknowledges that she has yet to find her niche and believes there is still much to explore.
Sehin has actively participated in various photography events, including art sales and international exhibitions. Her notable achievements were organizing and exhibiting her first solo exhibition, titled “Ashendiye in Lalibela,” as well as selling her work at an international women’s day art exhibition held in the British embassy. Additionally, she has showcased her photographs at prominent exhi- bitions such as Addis Foto Fest, one of Africa’s leading photography festivals, Capture Addis and recently participated in a two-person exhibition in Cologne, Germany which served as a turning point in her photography career.

She also co-founded the “Artawi Gallery” with photographer Abinet Teshome.
