Moustapha "Mous" Lamrabat (born 1983)[1][2] is a Moroccan-born Belgian photographer, of Moroccan and Flemish descent.[3] He is known for both fashion photography under Studio Mousmous, and fine art photography.[3][4]

Biography

Lamrabat was born in Temsaman, northern Morocco; at the age of 2 his family moved to Belgium.[5] He grew up in Sint-Niklaas in a family of nine children.[3][6]

He studied interior design at Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) in Ghent and graduated in 2009.[6][2] He is self taught in the field of photography.[7]

In 2019, he had his first solo exhibition Mousganistan, held at the SteM Zwijgershoek [nl] museum in Sint-Niklaas.[8][9] His fine art photography will often highlight his subjects donning niqabs, abayas, and kaftan robes.[7] He creates hybrid images by using Islamic symbols, such as traditional clothing; and pairs it with Western brand iconography and pop culture references.[10][11]

Lamrabat has worked for Elle, Vogue Italia, Vogue Arabia, GQ Middle East, and Esquire.[6][12][8]
