She gained international attention in 2015 with her photographic series "Sex and Takeout", a play on food porn and indulgence without restraint.

She adopted this style with Instagram in mind, after being inspired by posts on the platform sharing screenshots from subtitled foreign films.

[14] Bahbah described her works as coming together to "create a serial, episodic quasi-narrative" which is open to interpretation, although "[each] individual piece tells a story on its own".

[15] She has expressed that the themes of desire, intimacy, and emotion in her work, and her frequent depiction of taboo subjects such as women's sexuality, stem from the sense of freedom she has gained through her art after being raised in a conservative Christian Middle Eastern household, as a racial minority in a majority-white community.

[16] The series "Sex and Takeout" was created in 2014 while Bahbah was working as an art director at a Melbourne advertising agency.

The 26-photograph series features young women in varying states of nudity eating and posing with fast food.

Through Possy, she has worked with GQ and Vogue, shot ad campaigns for Gucci, and directed three music videos for Kygo songs ("Think About You" with Valerie Broussard and "Not OK" with Chelsea Cutler in 2019, and a remix of "What's Love Got to Do with It" starring Laura Harrier in July 2020).

[20][21] The photos present the conflicting sentiments felt by the subject; subtitles convey a simultaneous desire for approval from the abuser and a strong detest for his actions.

[16] The series touches on the same themes of empowerment, self-love, and desire as many of Bahbah's other works, but this time specifically centred around the experiences of Arab women.
