Interview with Ahmed Ali Alwosaibie
Ahmed Ali Alwosaibie
Ahmed Ali Alwosaibie was born in 1980 in the wonderful country of Saudi Arabia in an area known as Alahsa.
Early in his life he had not realized that a picture could captivate and visually please him until he bought his first camera and started to go around the area he lives (Alahsa) which is known to be rich in greenery, water and clear blue skies.
On viewing his neighbourhood through the lens he then realized that the world around him could be presented in a single image.
He had always hoped that he could gather the fascinating scenes into a single photograph and indeed he found the required beauty everywhere which he then recorded with his camera.
Back in 2009 he had often found encouragement from family and friends and he was always hearing the same question “Is this photo from here, Alahsa?”
“Yes!” he’d answer, “All of this beauty is from here, but you didn’t look at it in the same creative way”.
Then he started to read and surf on the internet looking at photographs taken by professionals worldwide. This research progressively taught him how to look at a scene with a different eye. He had often wondered whether he could reach similar standards in photography if not better than the inspirational photographers that he had learnt from or even if he would be able to apply the basic photographic rules.

Interview with Shobeir Ansari
Shobeir Ansari
We are pleased to have with us a photographer who is currently a web favorite whom has been featured in quite a few blogs and photography orientated websites.
He was born and raised in Iran and currently lives in upstate New York where he keeps himself busy in his free-time photographing the outlying areas. He often seeks out rural areas to experience true wilderness away from crowds, cities, and the stress of everyday life.
Through landscape photography he has been able to combine his love of the outdoors and his desire to try to capture its beauty.
He has also recently developed a strong interest in Urban Exploration Photography. The unusual beauty that can be found only in neglected buildings amazes him every time he comes across a new urban subject.
His works are stunning and his darkroom process is neither too much or blindly done. His skill at not only presenting a scene to the viewer but also in passing on the visual poetry that he sees at the time of capture inspires and drives the viewer to want more. His photography has the skill of the fine artist and the boldness of an urbanest. Click on the link to read more about Shobeir Ansari.

Interview with Djamel Haraigue
Djamel Haraigue
His roots are from Algeria and is married Alhamdulillah and has two daughters aged 8 and 4 Mashallah.
He is a Paris-based interior architect but has always longed to be a photographer. Having a constant desire to illustrate how he sees the world his camera has become his paintbrush and canvas.
To hear that his work brings joy to others makes him feel quite blessed.
“What more can an artist hope for?” he states, and rightly so.
He points out that “once a famous architect had said that “God is in the details” (attributed to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe)”, and we believe he currently carries this idea into his current photography.
He believes that some things are obvious, and are just begging to be photographed, whilst others are not so obvious. He has taken a numerous amounts of pictures, subjects posing from: faces; streets; landscape; and skies, etc. He states that the feedback on them has been very positive, Alhamdulillah.
“Everyone likes the composition, the bigger, larger then life picture, including me. But then there are the small unnoticed details such as: that hidden moment; and the stolen glance. Those are the things I’m always looking for…
…and sometimes, when I’m lucky, I find them.”
