Lived · Learned · Wisdom Earned

Every frame tells a story.
Every story leaves a mark.

I'm Samy Bishay, a photographer, a traveler, and the man behind Transformed at Sea. 345 lbs to 273 lbs and counting, rebuilding my life one frame, one cold plunge, one honest conversation at a time.

About Me

A life lived in moments, and captured in them.

I've spent my life chasing light, places, and the people who make them unforgettable. From the bridge of a ship at sunrise to a quiet street at dusk, photography is how I make sense of the world.

I'm a storyteller before I'm anything else. Whether through a frame, a face, or a fight, I believe the most ordinary moments hold the most extraordinary truths.

This site is part portfolio, part journal. A place to share what I've seen, who I've met, and what I've learned along the way.

My Story

Fit to Fat to
Fighting Back.

I gained 100 pounds. Then I lost them. Not in a single dramatic moment, but through years of choices, setbacks, and quiet wins nobody saw.

This is the story of getting comfortable, getting honest, and getting back up. It's not a transformation reel. It's a real one.
