Hosny Olwi, the owner of Amir photographic studio, sits in his shop on Fouad street in Alexandria, Egypt, February 5, 2016. Many famous artists from the 1950s onward were photographed at the studio. In Egypt's Alexandria, Fouad Street reflects the city's rich history and is known for its elegant villas and antique shops. Today the Mediterranean coastal city, once a melting pot of nationalities and faith groups, is overcrowded and dilapidated, like many of Egypt's urban centres. Fouad, among the city's oldest streets and once home to a Greek poet and a British novelist, today features modern retail brands and is an area still popular with antique fans and art lovers.
