Roger Anis is an Egyptian documentary photographer and visual researcher. He received his Master’s degree from the Royal Academy of Arts (KABK) in the Netherlands, where he focused on water and rivers. In 2015, he earned a degree in Photojournalism from the Danish School of Media & Journalism (DMJX) in Denmark. He also holds a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, which he obtained in 2008 in Egypt.

Roger began his career as a photojournalist in 2010, working with Egyptian newspapers and international news agencies. His work has been published in major outlets such as the Associated Press (AP), Agence France-Presse (AFP), Getty Images, The New York Times, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Le Monde, De Groene Amsterdammer, The Guardian, and others. He has also collaborated with international organisations, including UNICEF, UNDP, UNFPA, and UN Women.

His photography has been exhibited in Egypt and internationally, at the Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris), the Hermitage Museum (Russia), the MUCEM Museum (Marseille), The “GEM” Grand Egyptian Museum (Cairo), Head On Photo Festival (Australia), Bamako Biennale (Mali), and other venues across Turkey, the USA, Singapore, India, and the Netherlands.

Roger’s work focuses on social and environmental issues, particularly hidden or underreported stories within communities. His long-term projects often address themes such as water, environment, identity, and displacement. In his practice, he experiments with multiple visual media, from visual research, photography and filmmaking.

He is also the Artistic Director and Co-founder of the EverydayNile Initiative, which empowers visual storytellers from the Nile Basin countries to document and share stories about the Nile and water in their communities.
