Mulat Abitew is a self-taught photographer based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with a deep passion for capturing the beauty of everyday moments. His work highlights the unique character of different locations, from the bustling streets of the city to remote mountain villages, always seeking new ways to tell the stories of the places he visits.
Photography has been a part of Abitew’s life since he was young, inspired by his love for travel, hiking, and breathtaking landscapes. What began as a personal passion evolved into a full-time pursuit when he started engaging with exhibitions and other photographers. Once an electrician, he transitioned into photography after taking formal classes.
For Abitew, photography is more than a profession – it’s a way of life. Sunday mornings start with a camera in hand, capturing moments as the world awakens. His images invite viewers to see both the grandeur and intimacy of everyday life.
