About

Mostly people. Mostly Doha. Always Leica.

I watch, I wait, and I press the shutter at the moment that does not lie.

A Qatari photographer following street life and passing faces. I grew up around my father’s fabric shop, which is probably where all of this started — a place that teaches you to watch.

Broadcast engineer by profession, photographer by habit. I have been photographing Doha seriously since 2010, almost always with a Leica, almost always in black and white.

I am not looking for extraordinary subjects. I am looking for ordinary ones, seen at the right moment, in the right light.

The Work

Fifteen years of walking the same city

I follow the small moments that most people walk straight past, and try to turn them into something worth looking at twice. Doha changes fast, and most of my work is simply an argument with that speed.

Photography commissions in Qatar, print enquiries and licensing. Replies come from me, not an office.

Notes

From the projects

“Fifty years of cloth, measured by hand.”

My father, his fabric shop, and the habit of watching that started all of this.

“Men who have played together for years.”

A public park in China, a long afternoon, and a game that never really ends.

“I went back the second morning.”

A village school in Indonesia, and the same light asked for twice.
