Biography

My Website: [link]

I'm a Saudi Arabian photographer born in Riyadh in 1981, educated and lived in the US for 12 years. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems from the University of Tampa.

After failing to develop a talent in Art & Design, I fell into Photography by chance in 2004. Traveling around the world photographing places that catch my eye from unique perspectives is my passion. Reflections is the subject I love most in photography, along with Architecture and Black & White. I use a Canon 500D camera and mostly a Sigma 10-20 lens.

My photographs have been featured in a number of publications in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. They have also won a number of international awards. While Photography is just a hobby I pursue when traveling, I work as a Systems Analyst in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
