Mahmoud Khattab: The Dog Sat Where We Parted

Mahmoud Khattab has won the 2025 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award for his Self Published The Dog Sat Where We Parted. A deeply personal project, Khattab captures the vulnerability and fragility of otherwise unseen military life in Egypt. Shot during his year of Egyptian national service as an army doctor in 2017, it is named after Antar, a stray dog with whom Khattab formed a close bond over five-mile walks across the desert. The photographs are an expression of Khattab’s feelings of intense loneliness as a soldier.
